UN Habitat Hub to be launched at Munich meeting Nov. 20-23, 2013
In developing countries millions of new residents stream into megacities
often building "informal" neighborhoods where new generations will be
born. Official responses have typically been like efforts to hold back the
tide. With the expected influx of another two billion low-income migrants
by 2050, this challenge is being reframed, with a focus on exploring more
constructive approaches that channel the energy, creativity, and
resourcefulness of the new city dwellers.
Researchers at the forefront of this worldwide movement are converging on Munich from November 20 to 23 for a symposium hosted by the Technische Universitt Mnchen (TUM). The interdisciplinary symposium "Metropolis Nonformal Anticipation" assumes that collaboration, not prevention, offers the only path toward sustainable living in the megacities of the future.
The second such meeting of the minds arranged under the auspices of the TUM Institute for Advanced Study, this symposium also marks a new beginning: the official launch of a United Nations Habitat Hub on Informal Urbanism.
Journalists interested in covering the event need to register and should also contact the TUM Corporate Communications Center (presse@tum.de).
