You are invited to join us for an interactive online launch where editors, guests speakers and postgraduate students will discuss how the book is conceptualised and can be used.

A key threat of a warming climate is that it does not pose one single risk but rather it presents multiple, interacting risks. So how do we address these challenges for assessing and responding to climate change risks?

The Centre for Sustainability Transitions at Stellenbosch University in South Africa, in partnership with the Resilient Waters Program in Southern Africa, invites you to participate in a 2-hour online dialogue to share on how your work has contributed towards building water security in Southern Africa.

Make the Liebeek Matter is a campaign pitted against Amazon setting up headquarters on a unique heritage and ecologically sensitive riverine area along the Liesbeek River. Tauriq and Leslie are leaders of the campaign and will share with us the significance of the site and the potential impact of the development which has deep resonance for a history of indigenous struggle.

In this webinar we will discuss the notion of “in[formal]ity as a dialectic whole to replace the dichotomy of formal vs. Informal”, as developed by Perold. This position allows a better understanding of the continuous production of urban space through both formal and informal practices, through top-down planning and every day appropriations by different actors.
