As part of the Covid Collective, research projects led by IIED and the Global Development Institute (GDI) have been analysing responses to the COVID-19 crisis across a number of African cities.
The challenge of urban development in Africa is already well-known to readers of Environment and Urbanization through papers we have published that describe its local manifestations in multiple sectors, including land, health, housing, basic services, livelihoods and the environment. This book elaborates on the nature of life in African cities and the ways in which urban realities are unfolding. Myers seeks both to provide a commentary and also suggest ways in which improved access to justice can enhance the lives of African’s urban citizens.
