DPU's KNOW project is pleased to launch its new City Partner pages

19 May 2020

Knowledge in Action for Urban Equality (KNOW) City Pages are a dedicated space for each of our KNOW City Partners to share their investigations, local teams, outputs, and more as they coproduce pathways to urban equality in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

A central focus of KNOW is co-productionÌýof knowledgeÌýthrough partnerships of equivalence. This means workingÌýand learningÌýcollaboratively inÌýactiveÌýpartnership with a multi-disciplinary cohort of international partners. In doing so, KNOW helpsÌý

KNOW's City Partners are central to ensuring knowledge is co-produced, shared, and turned into action, which can be used to inform policy and practice, along with the education of future urban practitioners.

Working in 12 cities across the global South (Barranquilla, Havana, Lima and San José in Latin America; Da Nang, Jaipur, Nakhon Sawan, Yangon and Yogyakarta in Asia; and Dar es Salaam, Kampala and Freetown in Africa)ÌýKNOW seeks to find effective ways of delivering prosperity, tackling extreme poverty, and building urban resilience by working directly with local actors. Our City Partners are core to the programme, building on connections and partnerships the DPU has developed over many years. As such, these partnerships with equivalence are central to ensuring local actors are meaningfully involved at the forefront of KNOW research, helping to shape pathways to urban equality.Ìý
