عن المقرر

This course engages debates in contemporary neoliberal urbanism with a particular focus on African cities. It questions the colonially-mediated modern conceptual frameworks that undergird the field of urban studies. It suggests to rethink the intimate connection between the development of capitalism and urbanisation. Together we will explore the ongoing reconfigurations of the urban as social laboratory: the production of gendered, racialised, classed subjectivities, housing, land, networks, livelihoods, power, violence and social movements in the everyday life of urban dwellers.
