Towards a sustainable energy policy for informal settlements

This research builds on Dr. Verniz PhD research: “Understanding the genesis of form in Brazilian informal settlements: towards a grammar-based approach for planning favela-like settlements in steep terrains in Rio de Janeiro”.

At this stage, we propose ways to promote energy justice towards low-income residents.

Year: 2022-ongoing
