This project, which was funded by SHLC’s Capacity Development Acceleration Fund, aims to carry out action research within the ‘Right to the City’ framework with residents and leaders of the municipality of El Alto, Bolivia.
Background
This interdisciplinary research will involve professionals from architecture, sociology, geography, anthropology, and psychology for the empowerment and the construction of policies and urban planning.
The main objective of the project is to contribute to citizen empowerment in the knowledge and exercise of the ‘right to the city’, a fundamental principle of the New Urban Agenda (NAU), through the construction of knowledge, from a territorial approach of the urban periphery.
A ‘Research – Action’ approach, in the format of training workshops, will be complemented by a quantitative survey and the final results will contribute to the strengthening of the current urban construction policy.
