How do urbanization and development intersect with religious
dynamics to shape contemporary African cityscapes? To answer this
timely question, contributors from across Europe, North America and
Africa are brought together to explore mega-cities including Lagos,
Cape Town, Dar es Salaam and Kinshasa as powerful venues for the
creation and implementation of religious models of urbanization and
development. This book interrogates how religious socio-spatial
models and strategies engage with challenges of infrastructural
development, urban social cohesion, inequalities and inclusion.
Chapters explore how faith-based practices of urban and
infrastructural development link moral subjectivities with
individual and wider aspirations for modernization, change,
deliverance and prosperity. The volume brings together
ethnographically rich and theoretically grounded case studies of
religious urbanization across the African continent. It advances
discussions of the ambivalent role of urban religion in development
and documents the complex, multifaceted socio-cultural and
political dynamics associated with religious urbanization in
Africa.
