This groundbreaking collection, drawing on a variety of fields and extensive first-hand research, offers a fresh perspective on some of the most pressing issues confronting urban Africa in the twenty-first century. Each of the chapters, using case studies from Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Niger, Nigeria, South Africa and Tanzania, explores how the rapid growth of African cities is reconfiguring the relationship between urban social life and its built forms. While the most visible transformations in cities today can be seen as infrastructural, these manifestations are cultural as well as material, reflecting the different ways in which the city is rationalised, economised and governed. How can we 'see like a city' in twenty-first-century Africa, understanding the urban present to shape its future? This is the central question posed throughout this volume, with a practical focus on how academics, local decision-makers and international practitioners can work together to achieve better outcomes.African cities and collaborative futures Cities and townsForecastingCities and townsForecasting.307.760112Santos Andreza Aruska de SouzaKeith MichaelNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910477139903321African cities and collaborative futures3363485UNINA02118nas 2200637- 450 991015026030332120241204171227.02410-972X(OCoLC)967615606(CKB)110978978957540(CONSER)--2017233521(DE-599)ZDB2876478-X(EXLCZ)9911097897895754020161210a19719999 --- -engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierClean air journalJohannesburg :National Association for Clean Air,[1971?]-Halfway House, South Africa :National Association for Clean Air, Republic of South Africa1 online resource"Official publication of the National Association for Clean Air."--Vol. 7, no. 1 (May 1986) cover.Some issues may have been published in Pretoria.Refereed/Peer-reviewed1017-1703 Tydskrif vir skoon lugNACAAir qualityAfricaPeriodicalsAir quality managementPeriodicalsAirPollutionAnalysisPeriodicalsAirPollutionAnalysisfast(OCoLC)fst00802084Air qualityfast(OCoLC)fst00802503Air quality managementfast(OCoLC)fst00802537Air PollutionAir PollutionanalysisAiranalysisAfricafastSouth AfricaPeriodicals.fastPeriodical.Air qualityAir quality managementAirPollutionAnalysisAirPollutionAnalysis.Air quality.Air quality management.Air Pollution.Air Pollutionanalysis.Airanalysis.National Association for Clean Air (South Africa),JOURNAL9910150260303321Clean air journal2239754UNINA
