What is the relationship between urban morphology and resilience?
How can this be described in theory and in practice?
How can this be accommodated or planned for through appropriate urban design interventions or how can urban design enhance the transformative capacity of urban systems?
As part of their visits, a one-day seminar is organised on August 2, 2013 for all interested stake-holders to explore these issues and questions. We would like to invite interested academics and practitioners to submit a short abstract to indicate their intention to participate.
Speakers will be notified early in July on whether their abstracts have been accepted and the programme will be made available soon afterwards.
This seminar is supported by the URBAN DESIGN INSTITUTE OF SOUTH AFRICA, a NRF grant 78649 as well as a grant from the Research Fund of the School of Architecture and Planning of the University of the Witwatersrand.
