Public Lecture on “The urbanization-construction-migration nexus” at ILO headquarters
13 November 2015
Dr Sunil Kumar of the London School of Economics and Political Science will present findings from research undertaken in 5 cities in South Asia – Kabul, Dhaka, Chennai, Kathmandu and Lahore. This research is an important contribution to the literature on urbanisation and migration, as well as to the practice and policy domains by: (i) linking the growing power of urban consumption and investment with (ii) the demand for rural migrant contract construction labour (transient migrants) via (iii) large-scale urban construction projects (residential, commercial, industrial and infrastructure).
