About the project

Realising the need for systematic comparisons across spatial scales, from the global to the very local, and between larger and smaller cities in and between countries, the SHLC research framework was designed to explore this multi-comparative challenge. This international, interdisciplinary project aims to build research knowledge in the UK, Asia, and Africa to address urbanisation challenges in developing countries.
