Symposium Metropolis Nonformal – Housing
| Name of project | |
| Symposium Metropolis Nonformal – Housing | |
| Short summary | |
| The hub proposes a Symposium about the link between Informal Urbanism and global Housing strategies in summer 2016. The host would be ETH Zürich. | |
| Background | |
| The Informal Urbanism Hub would like to foster a continuous intellectual discussion about specific aspects of nonformal urbanization. There have been already two very successful symposia (Munich 2013, Cairo 2014) which brough together academics, policy makers and practitioners. We would like to keep the momentum going and propose a third one that should especially intensify exchange with members of UN- Habitat. | |
| Purpose | |
| The proposed intellectual exchange between Hub members and with UN- Habitat members is still in a beginning stage and needs to be greatly expanded. Symposia are proven events to foster new interhuman connections and personal alliances, eventually leading to actual projects. | |
