Overview
Key facts
In the next 35 years, Africa will need to accommodate almost 900 million new urban dwellers. Hundreds of smaller cities are doubling in size every 20 years. Half of Africa's urban dwellers live in informal settlements in precarious conditions, and 75% of these are younger than 35.
In University College London (UCL)'s Development and Planning in African Cities - Exploring Theories, Policies and Practices from Sierra Leone course you'll explore African cities through the lenses of spatial justice and social diversity. It challenges myths and assumptions about urban development, and demonstrates how different processes interact and shape the development of a city.Programme Structure

- What is development? What is planning?
- Normative crosscutting lenses: spatial justice and social diversity
- Urban change and the evolution of planning
