This book offers a broad range of scholarly interpretations of the
evolving forms, the changing dynamics, and the unexpected surprises
that characterize contemporary African cities. It wrestles with
important questions concerning how large numbers of people without
regular work nevertheless find ways to survive and even prosper. It
balances investigations of particular cities in sub-Saharan Africa
with considerations of a diversity of topics, themes and multi-city
comparisons, including themes in: culture, imagination, place and
space; political economy and work livelihoods; and urban planning
and governance. The collection is both theoretically informed and
empirically grounded. Aimed at mid-level undergraduate students,
these essays, taken as a whole, provide an understanding of what is
happening in African cities today, and why.
