This lecture provides a critical analysis of urban planning in African cities, discussing the transition from traditional to strategic urban planning, the importance of sustainable development principles, and the challenges related to land use, environmental issues, transportation, poverty, and the disconnect between planning and management. The instructor emphasizes the need for a more people-centered and adaptive approach to urban planning, highlighting the limitations of current planning practices and the importance of integrating social practices into planning tools.
