“Climate Infrastructure & City Governments: A Strategic Framework For African City-Labs”, provides a framework to support the development of ‘city-labs’ in African cities.
A short course for practitioners took place from the 13-16 April 2015 at the University of Cape Town. This course was jointly presented by the African Centre for Cities (ACC), the Violence Prevention through Urban Upgrading (VPUU) Non-Profit Company and the Inclusive Violence and Crime Prevention Programme (VCP).
Using collective efficacy as a lens, Dr Mercy Brown-Luthango tries to understand high levels of violence and crime within Freedom Park, and urban settlement in Cape Town.
The ACC hosted the third meeting of the Urban Violence, Safety and Governance CityLab on June 26, 2014. The meeting focussed on the theme, ‘Integrated, Participatory Upgrading – Knowledge, Policy and Practice.’
