A two-day online multi-stakeholder conference is being organized by the project consortium of the ‘H2O-T2S’ project – South Asia Consortium for Interdisciplinary Water Resources Studies (SaciWATERs), Hyderabad; University of Cologne; and Delft University of Technology – under the Transformations to Sustainability Programme in collaboration with School of Planning and Architecture, Bhopal, India.
The conference will be conducted virtually on the 18th and 19th of January 2022.
The conference will pull together voices and perspectives from multiple sectors and stakeholders –government, academia, international development sector, and the grassroot civil society, – in order to understand both common and contested solutions and directions towards sustainable periurban futures. Understanding of periurban transformations will emanate from the four core themes –
- Water
- Gender
- Governance
- Disaster management
The aim of this conference is to provoke discussions on pathways for sustainable transformations of periurban areas. Thus, it aims at exchanging on the complex nature and vulnerabilities of these areas. These analyses will form the basis for discussing the need for specific policies for periurban spaces, which have a very specific character.
The project web page will be available for access and registration by 20 December 2021.
The concept note and schedule of the conference is available online here.
