Description

Innovations and solutions in formal urban environments. By offering new and innovative ideas and designs for low-cost housing, and
distinguishing between the varied local factors and conditions of housing, land tenure,
and living standards around the world, this conference will provide an opportunity to
present, discuss, and share what it means to live and work in cities across the globe
today. It will provide an important platform for the voices of makers, architects, urban
designers, and researchers, and offer a forum to bring together their knowledge. The
fact that both wealthy and poor urban areas have been denied the positive aspects of
urbanity is a fact. We must establish some understanding of what it might mean to
escape the intolerable condition of living in cities where residents cannot enjoy the
advantages of dwelling in the center nor the periphery.
