Linking community-led development and urban equality across four South East Asian cities
REGIONAL NETWORK
ACHR is coordinating research in four cities of the Southeast Asian region, seeking to consolidate a network of co-learning and knowledge co-production contributing to urban equality. Putting community-led knowledge production at the centre, the four research projects are based in Da Nang (Vietnam), Nakhon Sawan (Thailand), Yangon (Myanmar), and Yogyakarta (Indonesia).
In each of these cities, the teams are asking how city-wide community-led processes can reduce urban poverty and inequality. Diverse teams of community members, professionals, activists and academics are co-producing and consolidating knowledge about urban communities and urban development processes, seeking to bring about change to the systems and practices that affect the living conditions of the urban poor.
