Lab Talk Series: MOBILISING THE PERIPHERY

Urban peripheries - such as informal cities, barrios and suburbs - are typically perceived to present only great challenges. With this five-part series, ANCB and the Schindler Transit Management Group stimulate new ways of thinking, to question the given preconditions of current development and to initiate a discourse on urban realities at the periphery. Four types of periphery, exemplified by four case studies – Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, China and Europe – in connection with participation and social justice are discussed.
