We are pleased to invite you to the seminar “Infringing Infrastructures: Environmental Justice and Inequality in the Urbanising World,” jointly organised by Wageningen University and the University of Amsterdam under the SSH Sectorplan Social Inequality and Diversity.
This interdisciplinary event explores how infrastructures—whether designed for sustainability, mobility, or adaptation—can unintentionally deepen existing inequalities or create new forms of marginalisation. From tidal parks and green corridors to renewable energy systems and smart technologies, the seminar asks: Who benefits, and who bears the costs of infrastructure-led change?
The day will feature presentations and discussions with leading scholars including Kei Otsuki (UU), Sumit Vij (WUR), Milan Babic (UvA), Jannes Willems (UvA), Karen Paiva Henrique (UvA), Stephanie Ketterer (WUR), Robert Coates (WUR) and Fieke Jansen (UvA).
The seminar is organised within the Urbanscapes cluster of the Centre for Space, Place and Society (CSPS) at Wageningen University and Research and the Amsterdam Centre for Inequality Studies (AMCIS) at the University of Amsterdam.
The event is free and open to all—students, PhDs, and staff interested in infrastructure, inequality, and environmental justice are especially encouraged to join. Lunch is included.
Organisers: Martijn Koster (WUR) | Sumit Vij (WUR) | Wouter van Gent (UvA) | Milan Babic (UvA)
