Abstract:
|
Urban Environments in Africa attempts to fill what Garth Myers argues is a gap in scholarship: marrying environmental and urban studies in African contexts. The book mainly discusses cities with more than 500,000 inhabitants, all the way up to the megacities Cairo and Lagos. It covers a range of cities from across the continent, while recognizing the diversity of this range. And it adopts urban political ecology as its theoretical framework, attempting to build on a tradition of rural political ecology in Africa.
