DESCRIPTION:The Cambridge Migration Society presents a series on Humanitar
 ianism and Development in the Governance of Migration "Crises". \n\nABOUT 
 THE SERIES: This series brings together development practitioners\, humani
 tarian workers\, and academics in various fields to explore and critically
  discuss how policies and practices in the fields of development\, humanit
 arianism\, and migration control inform and intersect with each other.\n\n
 ABOUT THE SEMINAR: In both urban and camp spaces of displacement\, physica
 l infrastructure shapes the daily lives of migrants living within them. Th
 is seminar analyzes the role of the architect in the humanitarian manageme
 nt of these spaces and thus\, the crafting of urban and camp dwellers’ f
 utures. Speakers will address the problematic part that architecture plays
  by solving short-term needs\, which often exacerbates temporary spaces of
  displacement. The seminar aims to explore how architects are attempting t
 o create sustainable infrastructure that meets short- and long-term needs 
 within a context of contradictory migration policy imperatives.\n\nABOUT T
