DESCRIPTION:How can infrastructure improve life in fragmented cities\, no
 w and in the future?\n\n\nSpeakers\n\nProf Alison Brown\, Cardiff Univer
 sity\n\nProf José Antônio Puppim de Oliveira\, Fundação Getulio Vargas\n
 \nProf Lyla Mehta\, Institute of Development Studies\n\nChair: Dr Deljan
 a Iossifova\, University of Manchester\n\n\nTalks\n\nProf Alison Brown\n
 Infrastructure and work in the Global South\n\nProf José Antônio Puppim 
 de Oliveira\nUnderstanding Innovations in Blue and Green Infrastructure 
 for Improving Food-Water-Energy Nexus in Cities\nImproved governance of 
 the interactions between food\, water and energy (FWE) in cities can pro
 vide significant benefits in addressing some of the most complex global 
 problems\, including climate change and biodiversity loss\, as well as h
 elp achieve other developmental goals such as food security and health. 
 This research\, part of a Belmont Forum project\, analyzes urban governa
 nce at the different levels related to the FWE nexus (FWEN) using Green 
 and Blue Infrastructure (GBI)\, by developing new concepts and approache
 s to understand how to assess\, govern and build GBI solutions and polic
 ies.\n\nProf Lyla Mehta\nTBC\n\nINFRA+ Rationale\n\nHow can infrastructu
 re be chosen\, planned\, designed\, implemented\, maintained\, enhanced 
 and used to improve human well-being in formal and informal urban areas?
 \nThe sustained functioning of infrastructural systems has multiple posi
 tive effects on human health and wellbeing. Infrastructure is therefore 
 central to the UN Sustainable Development agenda\, featuring in and cont
 ributing to most Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs\; Goals 1\, 3\, 5-1
 4 among others). The lack of access to sanitation\, water\, transport\, 
 energy or communication infrastructure can curtail sustainable developme
 nt and entrench existing or create new social inequality dynamics\, for 
 instance in further stigmatising the urban poor.\nThe INFRA+ webinar ser
 ies aims to identify links between context-specific infrastructural chal
 lenges\, approaches to their solution and universal mechanisms towards i
 mproved sustainability.\nSpeakers from across academia and practice with
  focus on East and Southeast Asia\, Latin America\, Africa and the Middl
 e East present their unique disciplinary perspectives and propose transd
 isciplinary directions for future research.
