Mainstreaming Urban Safety & Inclusion in South Africa

13 April, 2015 - 16 April, 2015

A four-day course for municipal officials and other practitioners to discuss violence and its prevention, key concepts, safer cities strategies, policy frameworks, urban upgrading for violence prevention, and associated methodologies. A day-long field trip will observe measures taken in practice.

The focus will be on mainstreaming issues of safety and inclusion in South African urban policy and practice. The spotlight is on the relationship between urbanisation, informality and violence.

The pilot course is convened by ACC’s Dr Mercy Brown-Luthango, with input from VPUU (Michael Krause, Jakub Galuska and other work stream leaders) and GIZ/VCP (Terence Smith and Christiane Erkens).

The event is funded by GIZ.
