Conference

Calibrating Urban Livability in the Global South: Gendered Perspectives on climate, health, governance and policy

Urban Studies Foundation Seminar Award Series

The conference, titled "Calibrating Urban Livability in the Global South," meticulously examines the multifaceted dimensions of urban life through a lens that prioritizes gender perspectives. Focusing on the intricate interplay of climate dynamics, public health paradigms, governance structures, and policy frameworks, the conference seeks to dissect the challenges and opportunities inherent in urban environments of the Global South. The emphasis on gendered perspectives underscores the disproportionately experienced urban burdens, particularly by marginalized communities, and highlights the often-overlooked role of women in shaping and enduring the consequences of rapid urbanization. This conference serves as a crucial platform for scholars, practitioners, and activists to contribute their insights, research findings, and innovative solutions, fostering a comprehensive dialogue on enhancing urban livability with a keen awareness of gender dynamics. Through this collective exploration, the conference endeavors to recalibrate urban livability paradigms, advocating for inclusive policies that address the complexities of climate resilience, public health, governance structures, and overall urban policy formulations in the Global South.
