  • Description: According to the United Nations' population division, 472 million Africans are now estimated to live in cities, with the number increasing each day. Clear systems for land ownership and proactive planning to ensure the efficient and intensive development of urban land; Pro-active investment in infrastructure and services to meet the needs of citizens and to mitigate issues such as congestion, crime and contagious disease; Empowering local governments to raise finances and to pursue largescale, targeted investments needed to improve liveability; Ensuring physical connectivity and an overall enabling environment for firm growth and investment. Part of the reason for this is that African cities are governed more like Indian cities, where an associational politics or ‘a dense web of networks and alliances – in constant formation and mutation – among the state, the private sector, and civil society groups’ (Ren, 2021: 9) make decisions over urban space. [...]land ownership and planning remain ambiguous in many cities and have their roots in pre-colonial structures of power as well as racialized systems of urban planning left behind by colonial authorities (Klopp & Paller, 2019).
