Dear Friends and Colleagues,
I hope this email finds you well. I am writing because I am helping in the organization of a panel on Informality and Infrastructure for the African Centre for Cities international urban Conference, to be held in Cape Town in February next year.
The objective of the panel is to explore the nexus between informality and the production, consumption and the workings of infrastructure. A focus on sub-Saharan Africa is preferred, but innovative urban research on different geographic regions will also be considered. If you are interested to participate, please submit your abstract to: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>
There is not a deadline for this submission, but we hope to finalize the program for this panel by the end of October.
Also if you are aware of scholars, in particular early-career researchers who might be interested to participate, please feel free to share this email with your contacts, students and colleagues.
The panel is organized by LSE Cities. LSE Cities is an international centre at the London School of Economics and Political Science that carries out research, conferences, graduate and executive education and outreach activities in London and abroad. Its mission is to study how people and cities interact in a rapidly urbanising world, focusing on how the physical form and design of cities impacts on society, culture and the environment.
This session on informality and infrastructure forms part of the prelude to the next Urban Age conference, which will be hosted in an African city towards the end of 2018.
Thanks a lot
All the best,
Marco
