Nearly half the world\u2019s population now lives in urban settlements (UN, 2010).<\/p>\n<p>This event will explore the integration between water governance, access to water and sanitation, urban inequality, and food security, exploring\u00a0how the social, political, and ecological come together to shape people&#8217;s access to water\u00a0in cities today and in the future. The event will gather specialists from Egypt, France, and\u00a0the United States\u00a0to provide a\u00a0multi-disciplinary\u00a0discussion about one of the most pressing issues facing our cities today: How can cities minimize the impacts of water scarcity, and address water and sanitation issues with an integrated approach, in the context of unabated urbanization and inequality in many cities of the world?<\/p>\n<p>About our speakers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><u>Catherine Baron<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0is Professor of Urban Planning at Science Po Toulouse.
