Urban Africa, May 2014. It’s unnecessary to say that African urban populations are growing and urbanisation is becoming one of the most important and highly topical concepts in the management of African cities.

The platform for African thought leaders Talking Heads produced, earlier this year, The Future of Africa Cities.

He raises critical questions around sustainability, innovation, creativity, and knowledge production.
