“Mapping African Approaches to Urban Planning: A Critical Overall Effort”,
part of the conference African Perspectives on Global Transformations in Basel, 26–28 August 2026.
The panel explores diverse planning practices, architectures, and forms of urbanism emerging from African contexts — especially those that challenge dominant frameworks and propose new alignments between urban practice, planning cultures, and higher education.
This panel is part of the development of the forthcoming Routledge volume with Domenico Patassini and Elvira Pietrobon:
African Approaches to Urban Planning: Towards Novel Alignments of Urban Practice, Planning Cultures, and Higher Education.
