To support and inform the process of course development, 12 application oriented case studies were conducted in Ethiopia. Such location specific case studies were broadly missing and urgently needed as a basis for course development.

These case studies investigate specific questions related to informal housing in the target cities Addis Abeba, Mekelle and Gondar. They vary therefore considerably in both focus and scope and target issues as diverse as:

• Situation and needs of street vendors
• Temporary and circular rural to urban migration streams and the housing needs arising from them
• Options for support of non-motorized traffic in informal settlements
• Security in informal public spaces, especially for women
• Housing temporary construction labourer
• Energy justice
