Access to drinking water beyond the network: Dakar and Bandung
Can we imagine that individualized forms of service supplant collective services (Pachego-Vega 2019) in certain urban contexts? It is perhaps time to move away from the idea that it is the network that makes the city (Caprotti et al. 2022), while hypothesizing that this axiological shift leads to socio-technical reconfigurations: towards a new ideal -type of city in development, made up of individualized constellations of access to drinking water.
Purpose:
Case study of off-network forms of access to drinking water in the cities of Dakar and Bandung, followed by a discussion with the public present.
Program:
Presentation of the work of Alexandre Gaudry as part of his doctorate. Alexandre is in charge of Research Mission in the Water and Sanitation Division of the French Development Agency and a doctoral student in Spatial Planning and Urban Planning at the University of Toulouse Jean Jaurès (LEREPS, G-EAU).
