DESCRIPTION:Drawing from Benjamin Selwyn’s (2017) concept of “labour-led 
 development\,” critiques of existing paradigms of sustainable and just t
 ransitions\, and hybrid movements espousing the right to the city\, this
  workshop aims to collectively envision the key features of what we call
  “labour-led urban development” (LLUD) in the Global South.\n\nWe will e
 xplore what “just” urban development looks like from the perspective of 
 the urban working-classes. What alternatives to existing capitalist deve
 lopment paradigms might this perspective entail? And what forms of organ
 isation and struggle—past and present—have helped realise these visions?
 \n\nThe workshop will take stock of the theoretical contours and practic
 al applications of labour-led urban development across three key themati
 c areas:\n(1) Reframing (urban) development\;\n(2) Urban struggles and n
 ew development agendas\; and\n(3) Power\, politics\, and popular organis
 ing.\n\nWe look forward to welcoming over 20 presenters. The workshop is
  hybrid\, and you are welcome to join either in-person or online.\n\nSpe
 akers include: Ben Selwyn\, Nick Clare\, Tom Cowan\, Brandon Marc Finn\,
