This blog explores lessons from urban theory and practice to provide some food for thought for planners, policymakers and international organisations who wish to practice an alternative style of urbanism that challenges the dominance of Western values in African planning practice.

The links featured throughout this blog provide more detail for those who wish to explore the topic further.
