This seminar will present findings from our recent research project Governing Infrastructure Interfaces and will provide an opportunity for feedback and discussion.
The research investigates urban governance at two railway stations, in Addis Ababa and Dire Dawa. These transport “infrastructure interfaces” are places where multiple infrastructure systems and stakeholders come together, and they provide a window into the politics of urban governance.
The seminar will begin with a pre-recorded video from researchers Rode, Terrefe, and da Cruz, which will also be made available to view and respond to one week prior to the seminar. The recorded presentation will be followed by an hour-long discussion between the authors and invited respondents and will include the opportunity for all attendees to ask questions.
