How have politicians, planners, and power brokers deployed—or not—notions of creativity across the history of African cities from the colonial era to the present? The contributors to Creative Cities in Africa address this question as they frame critical approaches to architecture and urbanism and explore new and alternative forms of writing, thinking, and making the city.
