We do not seek to dismiss the harsh realities of most of Africa&rsquo;s urban centres, the suffering of many of its peoples, nor the ways in which the distribution of power and wealth in African cities and states reflects the dominant world order. However, what we do seek to do here is to prompt an engagement with African urban discourse, to portray the routes that many have taken as they try to assess and redefine the potentials, as well as the pitfalls, of the African urban landscape. At the same time, we hope to contribute to this moment in urban history, where a new form of urban discourse and a powerful response to established world orders is emerging from spaces like Africa.</div> &nbsp;</div> <b>Contents : </b></div> &nbsp;</div> (Re)reading the African urban landscape - Emma Vivian O'Shaughnessy</div> African urban discourse : Invisible and reflexive practice in African cities - Emma Vivian O'Shaughnessy</div> Walking the city : Movement and space in Peter Abrahams' 'Mine Boy' - Megan Jones</div> Recreating the African city in Zakes Mda's Ways of Dying - Megan Cole Paustian</div> 'Diseased dystopias'?

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> &nbsp;</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> &nbsp;</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/e1ca754064f724d7dc3f6646d71768d9.jpg 42526bf27dc366b299c994a784a9d037 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> &nbsp;</div> Type The nature or genre of the resource Ouvrage Adjaye David Africa Afrique architecture built environment cadre bâti environnement urbain photographie Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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 &ndash; 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 &ndash; wielding power over their populace &ndash; 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> &nbsp;</div> <b>Contents:</b></div> &nbsp;</div> Simon Bekker and G&ouml;ran Therboro - Introduction</div> Odile Goerg - Conakry</div> Amadou Diop - Dakar</div> Phillippe Gervais-Lambony - Lom&eacute;</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> G&ouml;ran Therborn and Simon Bekker - Conclusion</div> &nbsp;</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.

Les villes d'Afrique sub-saharienne &agrave; elles seules vont accueillir plus de 300 millions d'habitants suppl&eacute;mentaires dans les vingt prochaines ann&eacute;es. Dans la plupart des pays du continent, la productivit&eacute; &eacute;conomique des villes et les conditions de vie des habitants sont d&eacute;j&agrave; aujourd&rsquo;hui gravement affect&eacute;es par les dysfonctionnements et le sous-&eacute;quipement. Or, dans la majorit&eacute; des cas, il semble que le retard des investissements urbains r&eacute;alis&eacute;s par rapport aux consid&eacute;rables besoins induits par la croissance d&eacute;mographique ne diminue pas mais, au contraire, s&rsquo;aggrave. Un changement d&rsquo;&eacute;chelle dans les montants d&rsquo;investissements s&rsquo;impose pour que la ville puisse r&eacute;ellement &ecirc;tre le moteur de croissance et de cr&eacute;ation d&rsquo;emplois qu&rsquo;elle a &eacute;t&eacute; pour les pays &eacute;mergents en Asie. Parall&egrave;lement &agrave; la poursuite des efforts pour augmenter la solvabilit&eacute; et am&eacute;liorer la gouvernance des collectivit&eacute;s, les modalit&eacute;s et syst&egrave;mes de financement sont &agrave; repenser.<br /> <br /> Le sujet du financement de l&rsquo;investissement local s&rsquo;inscrit dans les vastes ensembles des syst&egrave;mes financiers nationaux et des finances des collectivit&eacute;s territoriales. Ce dernier renvoie lui-m&ecirc;me &agrave; une s&eacute;rie de th&egrave;mes, comme la d&eacute;centralisation, la fiscalit&eacute; locale, l&rsquo;encadrement de l&rsquo;endettement sous-souverain, la gouvernance urbaine, ainsi qu&rsquo;&agrave; des politiques sectorielles, en particulier celles du foncier, de l&rsquo;am&eacute;nagement et de l&rsquo;habitat.<br /> <br /> Ce livre propose une synth&egrave;se et une mise en perspective &ndash; rarement effectu&eacute;es &ndash; de ces diff&eacute;rents sujets. Il offre un &eacute;clairage m&eacute;thodologique de la probl&eacute;matique de l&rsquo;investissement local &agrave; l&rsquo;usage des d&eacute;cideurs et des op&eacute;rationnels. En s&rsquo;appuyant sur une s&eacute;rie d&rsquo;&eacute;tudes de cas africains et sur un grand nombre d&rsquo;exemples dans d&rsquo;autres parties du monde, il propose des pistes concr&egrave;tes pour moderniser les syst&egrave;mes de financement de l&rsquo;investissement, promouvoir l&rsquo;implication du secteur priv&eacute;, le recours &agrave; des solutions endog&egrave;nes et mobiliser de nouvelles sources de financement.<br /> <br /> La crise financi&egrave;re r&eacute;cente a mis en &eacute;vidence l&rsquo;imbrication profonde des finances des collectivit&eacute;s territoriales et des politiques de l&rsquo;habitat avec l&rsquo;ensemble des syst&egrave;mes financiers et de l&rsquo;&eacute;conomie. De ce point de vue, le financement de l&rsquo;investissement local peut &ecirc;tre vu comme un fil rouge dans la lecture d&rsquo;un syst&egrave;me complexe de questions devenues essentielles pour les soci&eacute;t&eacute;s du continent africain.<br /> <br /> <b>Sommaire</b><br /> <br /> 1.

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> &nbsp;</div> <b>Eugenie L.
