Lecture
A Critique of Generic City Models in Africa
Description
This lecture discusses the production of generic cities in Sub-Saharan Africa by international actors and the need to shift towards specific urban projects rooted in local identities and societies. It emphasizes the importance of diversifying and specifying urban development based on local contexts, such as society, economy, morphology, and climate, in order to move away from the ineffective generic city model that currently dominates urban planning in the region.
