Overview

Focused on urbanization in sub-Saharan Africa, this book deals with current challenges facing Africa's rapidly-growing cities.

This book presents three studies conducted by Canadian researchers that explore the socioeconomic and political impacts of climate change, unplanned urban development, and renewable energy in the context of sub-Saharan African cities.

This book brings together a wide range of facts and insights related to urbanization and climate change. It is relevant far beyond the study context of sub-Saharan African cities, with takeaways that can inform future research into the urban geographies and political ecologies of the developing world.
