Streetscape Territories \u2013 immigration and urban development in Africa<\/a><\/h4>\n

Location : Cafetaria, Hollands College<\/a><\/strong>, Leuven\u00a0\u2013 12:00-13:00u
\n(Pater Damiaanplein 9, 3000 Leuven)
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

A global increase in urbanisation of the world\u2019s population leads to growing challenges of how to sustainably accommodate the rapidly growing immigration to larger metropolitan areas. One of Africa\u2019s largest open air markets, Addis Abeba\u2019s Merkato area, is one such place where these development challenges become apparent. The market combines both formal and informal settings and is a place where production, consumption and storage interact in an emergent way, presenting a substantial part of the local economy. More importantly, it is a main arrival point for immigrants, as its informal productivity allows their rapid and fluid integration in the urban society through immediate employment. This informal aspect, guaranteeing the market\u2019s social capacity, is currently threatened by large scale formal development of the area.
\nProf. Kris Scheerlinck presents insights from the ongoing Streetscape Territories project on this area, which aims to embrace its profound redevelopment while maintaining the informal conditions for productivity, so as to guarantee that the area keeps its status of \u2018arrival city\u2019. Anteneh Tesfaye (EiABC\/TU Delft) offers a response.<\/p>\n
