Urban Africa

Published in association with International African Institute

Editor(s): Jennifer Robinson and Jeffrey Paller with Stephanie Kitchen (Managing editor)

The Urban Africa series, jointly published by UCL Press and the International African Institute, is unique in presenting a critical, in-depth analysis of contemporary issues affecting urban environments across the African continent. Books in the series provide wide-ranging and rigorous studies of the urbanisation processes shaping African contexts, and African perspectives on global urbanisation. The series aims to publish books with a distinctive African-centred approach; to showcase leading scholars in African urban studies; and to offer a high-profile platform to scholars from the African continent who are under-represented in urban studies.
