Description

Abstract from the publisher :

, is it a historical core, a business district or no physical location at all? Food for a lengthy palaver.

Out of the central theme, three sub-themes were distilled to enable in-depth debate: (1) the African City Centre in contemporary global context, (2) the (historic) identity of the African City Centre and (3) the future life of the African City Centre. It is on these three sub-themes that entries were called-in.
