Funding for the project is provided by the British Academy, under the Urban Infrastructures of Well-Being. This programme aims to support interdisciplinary research that explores how formal and informal infrastructures interact to affect the well-being of people in cities across the Global South.
The programme will:
- Deliver research excellence with development impact;
- Strengthen the evidence base on what works at the critical junctions of formal and informal infrastructures, including what works in different contexts;
- Provide insights to enable new approaches to infrastructure development and innovative directions in implementation by policy makers and practitioners.
