Résumé : At a time where the African built environment is undergoing fast-paced urban, institutional and environmental changes, there is an increasing interest in alternative architectural solutions, urban designs and comprehensive planning experiments. This book provides the readers with a wide overview of place-based planning and design experiments addressing such large transformations. The international and balanced array of authors explores emerging research concepts for understanding urban and peri-urban processes in Africa and discusses bottom- up planning and design practices for steering such change through public spaces, sustainable services and infrastructures. Additional contributions further present inspirational and innovative co-design methods and participatory tools. The book is directed at students, researchers, decision-makers and practitioners engaged in planning and design for the built environment in Africa and the Global South.
