Front cover of the book DIY Urbanism in Africa

Do-it-yourself urbanism is about finding solutions when service delivery and other societal functions fail.

A recent research project has studied disaster preparedness, social cohesion, community trust, and empowerment in African cities. What can we in the Nordic countries learn from their experiences?

The webinar is based on a research project and a book that investigates do-it-yourself practices in African cities. Target audiences for this webinar are people working with crisis preparedness at all levels – strategic and operative.
