SUMMARY:Africa’s Urban Futures
DESCRIPTION:International Conference co-organized by the University of Gene
 va and the Swiss Society for African Studies\n\nWhile Africa is projected t
 o have the highest urban growth rate in the world by 2050, nearly one in tw
 o African citizens – that’s over 500 million people – already lives in citi
 es. Long seen as ‘ungovernable’, ‘fragile’ or ‘anarchic’, due in part, to t
 he proliferation of slums, uncontrolled urbanization, poor governance and c
 riminal activity, African metropolises however, are also celebrated as plac
 es of cultural, infrastructural, political and social creation. African urb
 an formations simultaneously emerge as spaces of social transformation, cir
 culation of ideas and innovation, and the loci for potential covetousness a
 nd (societal) conflict. This international conference focuses therefore on 
 a variety of urban-related issues emerging on the African continent in orde
 r to generate fresh insight on our urban world ‘yet to come’ (to paraphrase
  Abdoumaliq Simone) from a Southern urbanisms perspective that sees African
  cities as sites from which we can learn globally.\n\nProgram: www.genevaaf
