Abstract
The Confronting Informality Symposium is a student-led event
sponsored by the Chair of Spatial Planning & Strategy at the Department
of Urbanism, TU Delft University of Technology.
The symposium happens once a year and gathers experts, policy-makers, practitioners and others to discuss informal urbanisation, its political, economic and
environmental implications and the tools to tackle it.
The symposium, which is in its fifth edition, is a result of the faculty’s and its
students’ awareness of the impacts of informal urbanisation in issues of social,
economic and environmental sustainability and spatial justice in cities today
