How have you seen community knowledge work within these kind of federations and communities and the knowledge processes that you've been involved with as a northern researcher?

Thank you.

Thank you, Chris.

And thanks for Beth for starting us off on this important discussion.

I think from the beginning, as we thought about how to bring the African Cities Research Consortium together to make the most effective contribution, to inclusive urban programming, we were really clear that we needed to find ways to incorporate communities and incorporate them really effectively as key knowledge partners, if I might say that.

We, as you know, Chris, we're both doing action research and learning from the action research process to understand urban programming.

And we're really trying to understand the key urban constraints and the urban opportunities in the context in which people find themselves and what that means for urban scholarship more generally.

Have you seen that kind of evidence for that emerging through the process so far?
