PUG Insights provides a glimps into the critical work of the Politics and Urban Governance (PUG) Research Group. We bridge the gap between academic theory and urban reality by sharing updates on projects, events, news, and latest publications. Our newsletter keeps you informed on our most recent activities, from international workshops in London and Cape Town to community-led exhibitions that amplify the lived experiences of urban residents. Whether you are an academic, a policymaker, student, or an engaged citizen, you will find essential updates on our newest publications, upcoming events, and the growing expertise of our research team. We focus on high-impact research, including studies on off-grid infrastructure, climate resilience, and the protection of democratic values. Join us as we document the evolving political and social landscapes of urban environments.
