The Department of Architecture at the Faculty of Engineering, Cairo
University (CUFE), jointly with the UN-Habitat are organizing an
International
Conference on “Responsive Urbanism in Informal Areas”, to be held during
November 2014 in Cairo. This conference will also feed in the preparation of the
National Urban Forum in 2015, and the HABITAT III in 2016. The HABITAT III is
the third UN conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development planned
with an agenda for the Arab Region. The conference is also a collaborative
effort within the activities of the “Informal Urbanism Hub” of the HABITAT
University Network Initiative (UNI). The activities of this (UN) Hub started in
November 2013 with the academic symposium entitled “Metropolis Non-formal –
Anticipation”, held in Munich, Germany. UNI Hub seeks to reduce the gap between
academia and practice, and to strengthen the ties among all involved
stakeholders to face the future challenges in cities, and particularly in
informal areas.
