Presentation from the third ‘Infrastructure 2013′ seminar held 12 June in Oslo, on access to electricity in informal settlements and growing cities. How is the daily life, the outlook of a more prosperous life and security affected by the lack of or insufficient and sporadic access to electricity? And are informal settlements taken into account when calculating and planning improvements on the electric grids? What alternative solutions could be utilized? Below you find the presentation held by Ryan Anderson, Multiconsult and Tanja Winther, Center for Development and the Environment, University of Oslo.
