Everyday Urban Practices in Africa

This book challenges global norms in urban development that often clash with the realities of African cities. It critiques international frameworks like the SDGs for promoting universal policies that overlook local urban contexts. By disrupting these assumptions, the authors advocate for context-specific approaches to urban planning, grounded in the lived experiences of African communities. The book is a valuable resource for scholars, students, and practitioners in fields such as urban studies, development planning, and governance, as well as for professionals in urban policy and international development. It offers critical insights into dismantling one-size-fits-all frameworks and fostering more inclusive, effective urban planning across Africa.
