This edited collection from across the African continent offers a
diverse set of analytical accounts that engage with the urban
governance dynamics, drivers and impacts of a wide variety of
housing initiatives. These include insights into the relationships
between parties and actors undertaking developments, or whose
housing activities impact on the city. The book illustrates issues
of power distribution, the visions or agendas motivating these
actions, and the instruments used to advance them. It considers the
rise of mega housing projects; private sector driven residential
developments; unobtrusive transformations of existing building
stock, establishment and upgrading of informal settlements; and
state driven low cost housing schemes. It surfaces the
contestation, collaborations and conflicts as well as the power
relations that operate within cities and which are made visible on
cityscapes. Housing and human settlement scholars as well as
those interested in urban politics and governance dynamics in the
global south and across the African continent will find much to
appreciate in this volume.
