Story Behind The Book
The idea to write this book came from various interactions I had with various own planners across the African continent. I had seen how disastrous cities across Africa were developing. I had met various specialists who knew only about their speciality and were dogmatic, shutting down others in meetings and workshops. I listened as town planners and policymakers praise some of the most disastrous urban development models ever happened on earth. How they wanted them in their cities. I became frightened when such models started rolling out across the continent.
In all the frustration however, I could not find much writing on African cities that was outside the politics and political economy of urban development. I wanted to understand, under the shell of toxic politics, how are town planners doing in their responsibilities.
I spent few years hooping from one conference to another presenting my arguments to other town planners and urban studies scholars. Then I realised, the arguments were as fragmented as the specialists planners themselves. I needed to put them together and communicate with the people who live in cities, citizens. So began the writing of this book.

His use of global history to put urbanization of Africa into global perspective debunks so many myths about African cities...This is a must read book on African cities beyond the hype...he takes no prisoners in his polemic against what he calls specialists." - </span><i style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;">African Planning Magazine</i></p>
