Urban planning on the five Lusophone African countries - Angola,
Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, and Sao Tome and PrA ncipe -
has so far been relatively overlooked in planning literature.
Bringing together a team of leading scholars, this book fills the
gap by providing an in-depth analysis of key issues in the history
of urban planning and discussing the key challenges confronting
contemporary urban planning in these countries. The book argues
that urban planning is a non-neutral and non-value free kind of
public action and, therefore, ideology, planning theories, urban
models and the ideological role urban planning has played are some
of the key issues addressed. For that reason, the practice of Urban
Planning is also seen as the outcome of a complex interrelationship
between structure and agency, with the role of key planers being
examined in some of the chapters. The findings and insights
presented by the contributing authors confirm previous research on
urban planning in the colonial and postcolonial periods in
Lusophone African countries and at the same time break fresh ground
and offer additional insights as new evidence has been collected
from archives and in fieldwork carried out by a new generation of
researchers. In addition, it outlines possible directions for
future research.
