Work Package 2
comparative inquiry for urban equality
overview
Work Package 2 links the city-based research agenda in Work Package 1 with contemporary debates on global urbanism. To do so, WP2 will engage with the research sub-question: ‘How is urban equality comparatively understood, promoted, and implemented between groups within the city and between cities? Comparing urban processes, places and groups rather than cities per se will enables us to better identify the conditions that shape the common and particular relationships between the city and equality.
How is urban equality comparatively understood, promoted, and implemented?
Building on city-based research, Work Package 2 engages with the three challenges of prosperity (Co-Investigator Henrietta Moore), resilience (Co-Investigator Allan Lavell) and extreme poverty (Co-Investigator Colin McFarlane), Work Package 2 engages with how these issues are similarly or differently shared, connected, experienced and contested.
Work Package 2 will have a direct contribution to current debates on Sustainable Development Goal 11 (SDG11) and the New Urban Agenda, particularly in relation to how we understand and measure progress through quantitative and qualitative indicators across different urban contexts, as well as the ways this understanding can be embedded in local governance structures.
