Reconsidering Informality
Author: Karen Tranberg Hansen
Publisher: Nordic Africa Institute
ISBN: 9789171065186
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
This book brings together two bodies of research on urban Africa that have tended to be separate, studies of urban land use and housing and studies of work and livelihoods. Africa's future will be increasingly urban, and the inherited legal, institutional and financial arrangements for managing urban development are inadequate. Access to employment, shelter and services is precarious for most urban residents. The result is the phenomenal growth of the informal city. Extra-legal housing and unregistered economic activities proliferate and basic urban services are increasingly provided informally. Recent decades of neo-liberal political and economic reforms have increased social inequality across urban space. After an introductory chapter by the editors, the contributions are grouped into the following sections: - LOCALITY, PLACE, AND SPACE - ECONOMY, WORK, AND LIVELIHOODS - LAND, HOUSING, AND PLANNING The case studies are drawn from a diverse set of cities on the African continent. A central theme is how practices that from an official standpoint are illegal or extra-legal do not only work but are considered legitimate by the actors concerned. Another is how the informal city is not exclusively the domain of the poor, but also provides shelter and livelihoods for better-off segments of the urban population.

Urban Livelihoods, Institutions and Inclusive Governance in Nairobi
Author: Bob Hendriks
Publisher: Amsterdam University Press
ISBN: 9056296361
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
This study formulates conditions for sustainable impacts of inclusive and responsive governance through 'invited spaces' offered by the government and 'claimed spaces' created by the poor. The study questions how increased contributions to poverty reduction and improvement of quality of life for Nairobi citizens can be realised in an equitable and responsible way, while contributing to development of the city and country. To adequately address this two-sided objective of economic growth and poverty reduction in the contemporary context, the study analyses both processes and impacts; moreover it examines impacts in terms of quality of life as well as influence and political rights. The study explores the individually claimed spaces of households in Nairobi's slums, the collectively claimed spaces of hybrid mechanisms for access to peri-urban land and tenure, and the invited spaces of city-wide governance networks.

We are delighted to introduce The Proceedings of the International Conference on Environmental Science and Sustainable Development in 2019. This conference has taken place with the theme “The Strengthening of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Southeast Asia”. Environmental problems are dynamics and complex that needs the analytical and decision making instruments which can accommodate these characteristics. Environmental science is an interdisciplinary science that delivered to understand complex and dynamic interactions in environmental systems. Studies in Environmental Sciences involves various fields of science which enable the formulation of efforts to solve environmental problems in a holistic and comprehensive way for its sustainability. Sustainable development is a dynamic process in environmental science that includes the process of utilizing natural resources, the direction of investment, the orientation of technological development and institutional change to address the environmental problems. The conference brought together a number of environmental experts from various disciplines, as well as practitioners, students and lecturers. Meanwhile, with a total of 38 papers, then all papers in this proceeding are divided into several sub-topics, i.e.: Ecosystem And Biodiversity Conservation; Environmental Planning And Management; Water And Waste Management; Governance, Culture, and Politics; Sustainable Energy And Renewable Energy; Spatial Planning And Regional Analysis; Community Engagement; Social Movement And Environmental; and Strengthening Of Sustainable Development Goals.
