This volume explores the interconnections between these processes, whilst avoiding the tendency to forget that cities are also embedded in deeper historical processes that are integral to the framing of entitlements. Histories of migrancy and the creation of urban 'stranger' communities are fundamental in deciding who lives where and what this means, materially and socially. The gated communities that are springing up are often layered across older forms of urban segregation and/or segmentation. Urban water and food supply, the management of urban land claims, inequality and popular culture are closely examined. 410 0$aAfrican-Europe Group for Interdisciplinary Studies (Series) ;$vv. 3. 606 $aUrbanization$zAfrica 606 $aLand use, Urban$zAfrica 615 0$aUrbanization 615 0$aLand use, Urban 676 $a307.76096 701 $aLocatelli$b Francesca$0602190 701 $aNugent$b Paul$f1962-$01462453 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778516803321 996 $aAfrican cities$93864766 997 $aUNINA
