In 2025, the LCAU supported the course Fluvial Amazonian City, thanks to the Charles Correa (1955) Fund for Housing and Urbanization. The course asked students to consider how the architecture, design, and urban planning professions could learn from riverfront communities in the urbanizing Amazon and might best serve them in addressing and improving strategies for growth.
On April 6, participants will host the bi-annual Charles Correa (1955) Symposium. The in-person workshop will explore housing and sanitation realities and opportunities in the unique setting of the urbanizing Amazon and its largest city, Manaus.
RSVP and join the team on April 6 from 9:00am-12:30pm in MIT Long Lounge.
Location: MIT Long Lounge, Building 7, 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139.
Class and workshop supported by: The Charles Correa (1955) Fund for Housing and Urbanization at the Leventhal Center for Advanced Urbanism, MIT-LUMA, MISTI-Brazil Amazonia, MIT Department of Urban Studies and Planning, and the Inter-American Development Bank City Lab.
