Urban Human Security in Asia: Study Visit to Mumbai

Study Visit to Mumbai on Urban Human Security in Asia:
Harnessing Knowledge, Tools, and Innovations Through-and Across-Practitioner Networks for Sustainable Urban Development

This is a follow-up to our previous invitation to the Study Visit to Mumbai on Urban Human Security in Asia. The study visit to Mumbai was proposed by the participants at the Regional Workshop on Safety for the Urban Poor in Asia and the Pacific which was organised by CITYNET, UN-HABITAT, UNESCAP, ACHR, SPARC and SDI and hosted by the City of Marikina in June 2010.

This Study Visit will be hosted by the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) and aims to:
1. Explore Mumbai’s approaches on dealing with challenges facing the urban poor
2. Discuss innovative solutions based on the site visits and propose key recommendations
3. Discuss the follow-up on key recommendations made during the Urban Safety Workshop in Marikina in June, 2010 and its integration with the new recommendations

Please note: Dates have been re-scheduled to the end of March. Please check back for confirmed dates.
