Cities with ‘Slums’: from informal settlement eradication to a right to the city in Africa traces the proliferation of this misunderstanding across several African countries, and explains how current urban policy, with its heightened focus on urban competitiveness and associated urban policy norms, encourages this interpretation. The cases it presents cover a range of conflicts between urban residents and the local and national authorities that seek to curtail their ‘right to the city’.<br /> <br /> It offers disturbing insights into post-apartheid South Africa’s urban trajectory, with uneasy parallels in other African countries, both in the form of ‘slum’ eradication drives and in ambitious, but flawed, flagship pilot projects.<br /> <br /> The book aims to inspire a wider understanding of, sympathy for and solidarity with struggles against informal settlement eradication in South Africa and beyond, and argues that the right to the city, in its original conception, has direct relevance for urban contestations in Africa today.</div>  </div> <b>Marie Huchzermeyer</b> is Associate Professor in the School of Architecture and Planning at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg.</div>  </div> Type The nature or genre of the resource Ouvrage Africa Afrique bidonville droit à la ville habitants Huchzermeyer Marie informal settlement politique urbaine quartier informel renouvellement urbain slum clearance https://crevilles.org/files/original/fbc6870a3b1c2b59685d9cbe392f4709.jpg e7c9191f1ace59e96b7a1863cb2537fc Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.

David Adjaye is renowned for his highly acclaimed buildings in Europe and the United States. Of Tanzanian descent but raised and educated in London, he has found endless inspiration for his modern buildings in Africa. This book is the culmination of a personal quest--a decadelong project to document the built environment of every major African city.<br /> <br /> Adjaye has photographed thousands of structures and places, letting each speak for itself in contrast to a design world obsessed with photorealistic slickness. Fifty-three cities are featured, arranged by terrain and region, including: the Maghreb, the Sahel, Savannah and Grassland, Mountain and Highveld, Desert, and Forest. Each is presented with a concise urban history, fact file, maps, and satellite imagery along with the photographs and essays by leading scholars and critics.<br /> <br /> This handsome seven-volume slipcased edition is one of the most original and ambitious publications of our time and is sure to be among the great architectural collectibles.<br /> <br /> <b>David Adjaye</b> is the principal of Adjaye Associates, London, New York, and Berlin.</div>  </div> Type The nature or genre of the resource Ouvrage Adjaye David Africa Afrique architecture built environment cadre bâti environnement urbain photographie https://crevilles.org/files/original/39929e46f63cbf06733d485c7767c711.jpg 4602d38aa0a2c6b8a8a5b8f4b222e6d3 Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.

In this groundbreaking book, Myers uses African urban concepts and experiences to speak back to theoretical and practical concerns. It argues for a re-visioning - a seeing again, and a revising - of how cities in Africa are discussed and written about in both urban studies and African studies.<br /> <br /> Cities in Africa are still either ignored - banished to a different, other, lesser category of not-quite cities - or held up as examples of all that can go wrong with urbanism in much of the mainstream and even critical urban literature. Myers instead encourages African studies and urban studies scholars across the world to engage with the vibrancy and complexity of African cities with fresh eyes. Touching on a diverse range of cities across Africa, the book uses the author's own research and a close reading of works by other scholars, writers and artists to highlight a number of themes - from postcolonialism to cosmopolitanism - that help illuminate what is happening in and across the region's cities.</div>  </div> <b>Garth Andrew Myers</b> is Director of the Kansas African Studies Centre and Professor in the Departments of Geography and African/African-American Studies at the University of Kansas.</div>  </div> Type The nature or genre of the resource Ouvrage Africa Afrique cosmopolitisme informal city Myers Garth post-colonial city ville informelle ville postcoloniale https://crevilles.org/files/original/4e7a95eed82998520ec91eb40a8c502e.jpg 0c85fa174e9d869938a599919ddfbf01 Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.

Much of this urbanization has been fueled by the rapidly growing cities of the developing world, exemplified most dramatically by booming megacities such as Lagos, Karachi, and Mumbai. In the coming years, as both the number and scale of cities continue to increase, the most important matters of social policy and economic development will necessarily be urban issues. Urbanization, across the world but especially in Asia and Africa, is perhaps the critical issue of the twenty-first century.<br /> <br /> Global Urbanization surveys essential dimensions of this growth and begins to formulate a global urban agenda for the next half century. Drawing from many disciplines, the contributors tackle issues ranging from how cities can keep up with fast-growing housing needs to the possibilities for public-private partnerships in urban governance. Several essays address the role that cutting-edge technologies such as GIS software, remote sensing, and predictive growth models can play in tracking and forecasting urban growth. Reflecting the central importance of the Global South to twenty-first-century urbanism, the volume includes case studies and examples from China, India, Uganda, Kenya, and Brazil.<br /> <br /> While the challenges posed by large-scale urbanization are immense, the future of human development requires that we find ways to promote socially inclusive growth, environmental sustainability, and resilient infrastructure. The timely and relevant scholarship assembled in Global Urbanization will be of great interest to scholars and policymakers in demography, geography, urban studies, and international development.</div>  </div> <b>Eugenie L.

They host centres of political power, not only national, but in some cases regional and global as well, thus offering major avenues to success, wealth and privilege. For these reasons capitals simultaneously become centres of 'counter-power', locations of high-stakes struggles between the government and the opposition.<br /> <br /> This volume focuses on capital cities in nine sub-Saharan African countries, and traces how the power vested in them has evolved through different colonial backgrounds, radically different kinds of regimes after independence, waves of popular protest, explosive population growth and in most cases stunted economic development. Starting at the point of national political emancipation, each case study explores the complicated processes of nation-state building through its manifestation in the 'urban geology' of the city – its architecture, iconography, layout and political use of urban space. Although the evolution of each of these cities is different, they share a critical demographic feature: an extraordinarily rapid process of urbanisation that is more politically than economically driven. Overwhelmed by the inevitable challenges resulting from this urban sprawl, the governments seated in most of these capital cities are in effect both powerful – wielding power over their populace – and powerless, lacking power to implement their plans and to provide for their inhabitants.<br /> <br /> In its concentration on urban forms of multi-layered power, symbolic as well as material, Capital Cities in Africa cuts a new path in the rich field of studies related to African cities and politics. It will be of interest to scholars in a wide range of disciplines, from political history, to sociology, to geography, architecture and urban planning.</div>  </div> <b>Contents:</b></div>  </div> Simon Bekker and Göran Therboro - Introduction</div> Odile Goerg - Conakry</div> Amadou Diop - Dakar</div> Phillippe Gervais-Lambony - Lomé</div> Laurent Fouchard - Lagos</div> Wale Adebanwi - Abuja</div> Gabriel Tati - Brazzaville</div> Samuel Owuor and Teresa Mbatia - Nairobi</div> Paul Jenkins - Maputo and Luanda</div> Alan Mabin - South African capital cities</div> Göran Therborn and Simon Bekker - Conclusion</div>  </div> <b>Simon Bekker</b> is a South African sociologist who has served as Professor of Development Studies at Rhodes University, and as Director of the Centre for Social and Development Studies at the (then) University of Natal.

Africa’s future will be to an increasing extent urban. Nevertheless, the inherited legal, institutional and financial arrangements for managing urban development are inadequate. The recent decades of neo-liberal political and economic reforms have increased social inequality across urban space. Access to employment, shelter and services is precarious for most urban residents. Extra-legal housing and unregistered economic activities proliferate. Basic urban services are increasingly provided informally. The result is the phenomenal growth of the informal city and extra-legal activities. How do urban residents see these activities? What do they accomplish through them? How can these “informal” cities be governed?<br /> <br /> The case studies are drawn from a diverse set of cities on the African continent. A central theme is how practices that from an official standpoint are illegal or extra-legal do not only work but are considered legitimate by the actors concerned. Another is how the informal city is not exclusively the domain of the poor, but also provides shelter and livelihoods for better-off segments of the urban population.</div>  </div> <b>Contents :</b></div>  </div> Preface<br /> Introduction - Karen Tranberg Hansen and Mariken Vaa<br /> <br /> SECTION I: LOCALITY, PLACE, AND SPACE<br /> Sharing Public Space in Pointe-Noire, Congo-Brazzaville : Immigrant Fishermen and a Multinational Oil Company - Gabriel Tati<br /> The Right to Stay in Cato Crest : Formality and Informality in a South African Development Project - Knut G.
