South Africa - Sweden Research and Innovation Week

The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers from Sweden and South Africa, as well as local partners to deliberate on peri-urban spatial challenges in small rural towns in conceptual and physical terms.

The objectives of the workshop are to:

1. Enable the research team to share their research idea with other researchers.
2.  To engender multidisciplinary debates, and knowledge exchange from a ‘bigger’ community of scholars and stakeholders.
3. Strengthen debates on proposed adaptive strategies to curb spatial challenges from the peri-urban zones of small rural towns
4. Expand the existing networks at individual and institutional levels.

Keywords: adaptive strategies, peri-urban, spatial challenges, small rural towns.
Venue: University of Venda, Department of Urban and Regional Planning
