KNOW Annual Workshop 2019, Havana Cuba
25 February - 01 March 2019
Each year, the KNOW team meets in one
of our partner cities to discuss, share, and
co-develop the future of the project.
The second of our annual workshops was held in Havana Cuba, where we
reviewed the year gone by, planed for the future, and focused on four key themes:
-
Reviewing our collective understanding of Urban Equality
-
Co-Production of Knowledge
-
Co-Learning in KNOW
-
Activating collective action: creating conditions for change
The time in Havana was also spent
visiting field sites, research partners and holding two key events in celebration of 500 years of Havana (below).

KNOW Dialogues in Urban Equality #7 |
Retros de la equidad y la prosperidad urbanas
The issues of urban equality and prosperity are important to current discussions about the future of Havana and Cuba. Each of these terms are also encapsulated in wider global commitments like the New Urban Agenda and the SDGs, as well as in other national policy deliberations. The definition of urban equality and prosperity - and the relationship between them – are a central part of these debates. Our speakers are renowned scholars who are contributing innovatory work on the definition and operationalisation of these concepts. They will explore these debates in different national and international contexts.
