- **Event Description**: Global Development Institute, University of ManchesterAbout this EventRoom: Ellen Wilkinson_C3.19/C3.20Workshop organisers: Debolina Majumder and Michaela CollordDrawing from Benjamin Selwyn’s (2017) concept of “labour-led development,” critiques of existing paradigms of sustainable and just transitions, and hybrid movements espousing the right to the city, this workshop aims to collectively envision the key features of what we call “labour-led urban development” (LLUD) in the Global South.We will explore what “just” urban development looks like from the perspective of the urban working-classes. What alternatives to existing capitalist development paradigms might this perspective entail? And what forms of organisation and struggle—past and present—have helped realise these visions?The workshop will take stock of the theoretical contours and practical applications of labour led urban development across three key thematic areas:(1) Reframing (urban) development;(2) Urban struggles and new development agendas; and(3) Power, politics, and popular organising.We are looking forward to welcoming over 20 presenters. The workshop is hybrid, and you are welcome to join either in-person or online.If you would like to join in person, then please register for a ticket via this Eventbrite page.
