Most African cities are human settlements that lack the systems
needed for effective land use planning. In fact, the
disorganization that prevails has become so complex that the
concept of urbanism itself has been called into question. This book
highlights the need to restore urban planning in African cities
through sustainable development and interculturality. Furthermore,
it addresses the balance of power between urban planning and
sustainable development and explores the historical and
postcolonial aspects of urban planning in African cities. A case
study focusing on the development of sustainable cities and
neighborhoods in the M'Zab Valley is also included, as well as
topics such as urban greening, climatic threats and the problem of
state agro-industrial land transactions, which compete with
sustainable urban planning. Sustainable Intercultural Urbanism at
the Service of the African City of Tomorrow is a valuable reference
for researchers and practitioners interested in urban issues in
African cities. These cities, in particular sub Saharan cities,
have long been excluded from any discourse on sustainable cities
and urban planning; this book places the focus on these cities and
acknowledges their varied urban realities. The intention is to
spark a new debate on sustainable urban planning in African cities
based on intercultural sustainable urbanism, which is key to
thinking about and building ecological, intercultural, compact,
intelligent and postcolonial cities.
