SHAPING PATHWAYS TO URBAN EQUALITY

 

what is know?

‘Knowledge in Action for Urban Equality' (KNOW) seeks to deliver transformative research and capacity-building for innovation in policy and planning to promote urban equality.

 

KNOW is guided by the aspiration to produce more equal cities. It focuses on three development challenges: delivering prosperity, tackling extreme poverty and building resilient cities. 

"Knowledge in Action for Urban Equality is a response to growing inequalities in cities." 

KNOW is a four-year programme funded by ESRC under the Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF).  Led by Professor Caren Levy, Bartlett Development Planning Unit (DPU) UCL, KNOW is made up of a global consortium of researchers and partners across 13 institutions, focusing on nine countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
