[sur inscription gratuite mais obligatoire https://cist.cnrs.fr/events/the-legal-spatiality-of-land-water-and-infrastructure/]
This seminar brings together five presentations that discuss legal spatiality in a diversity of contests from the North and the South. These contexts have in common fast-paced spatial and urban transitions, driven by land reclamation, real estates, and the construction of infrastructure. They introduce a diversity of research questions and themes that concern the governance of water (lakes, the sea) and reclaimed land, institutionalised informality, legal disputes, and the production of energy infrastructure. Across this diversity of cases and contexts, the seminar has a twofold ambition: Contribute to the debate on research methods on legal geography and to the circulation of theories and concepts between Northern and Southern contexts.
