Book Description
Cet ouvrage privilégie un objet - la ville et ses pratiques de gouvernement - en combinant les jeux d'échelles (globale, nationale et locale) et les jeux d'acteurs (publics/privés). Sont analysés ici les liens entre l'Etat et le gouvernement local autant que les relations des acteurs privés (individus, associations, syndicats, milices) avec les différents échelons de l'Etat. La ville est considérée comme un terrain d'expression des rapports de pouvoir entre des coalitions d'acteurs dont rend bien compte la multiplicité des secteurs analysés (services urbains, gestion des marchés et des gares routières, gestion foncière, politiques de propreté, plans d'aménagement, réformes institutionnelles, sécurité, gestion des héritages de l'apartheid). La diversité des terrains observés en Afrique de l'Ouest (Nigeria, Ghana, Guinée, Burkina Faso) et en Afrique australe (Afrique du Sud, Namibie, Zambie, Mozambique) montre l'impact inégal des politiques de décentralisation en ville, le poids relatif des normes internationales ainsi que la prégnance d'arrangements locaux labiles. La combinaison du temps court et de la moyenne durée permet d'identifier l'émergence ou non de nouveaux acteurs. Cet ouvrage est l'aboutissement de plusieurs programmes de recherche internationaux et d'enquêtes de terrains menés entre 2002 et 2004. Géographes, historiens, politistes, sociologues et urbanistes contribuent ensemble à une analyse pluridisciplinaire du gouvernement urbain en Afrique anglophone, francophone, et lusophone.

Book Description
Rapid growth, unmanageable cities, urban crisis, macrocephali... The cities of west Africa are no longer ‘plannable’ – at least not using traditional urban development tools. Without negating the importance of participatory processes in city creation, it nonetheless seems crucial to return to city plans and models, to what cities convey, and how they are built. But to understand the city in all its depth and richness, we must also hit the streets. The West African City proposes a dual perspective. At the urban scale, it analyses historical trajectories, spatial development, and urban planning documents to highlight the major trends beyond the plans. At the second level – that of public space – the street is discussed as the city’s lifeblood. By innovating approaches and testing new methods, The West African City offers an unconventional look at Nouakchott, Dakar and Abidjan, the three study sites for this investigation. The city of today, in Africa or elsewhere, must re-examine its many social, economic, cultural, political, and spatial dimensions; for this, urban research has begun challenging its own methods. This book is also the companion of Chenal's MOOC African cities.

Book Description
Originally published in 1979. In this forcefully argued book, Milton Santos shows that contemporary explanations of urbanization and spatial organization in underdeveloped countries are inadequate. This failure is attributable to their origins in theories elaborated to explain the development of advanced Western societies. Santos' work provides the basis for the new theory which is so badly needed. He describes the urban economy in these countries in terms of two circuits of activity – an upper circuit consisting of those enterprises and structures which are based on modern technology and are oriented towards the advanced capitalist world, and a lower circuit comprised of more traditional processes and forms of exchange. The dialectical interaction of these two circuits is seen to generate the patterns of growth, forms of State intervention and, above all, the spatial organization characteristic of Third World economies. This was a revision and translation of L’Espace Partagé (1975).

Book Description
Originally published in 1990, this book reveals the extent to which petty landlordism is developing not just in the African urban settlements that have sprung up but in government-sponsored low-cost housing estates. The first part of the book traces African governments' changing responses to urban growth since the 1960s. The second presents case studies of housing markets and landlord-tenant relations north and south of the Sahara. The third examines World Bank involvement, and the book ends by considering policy implications.

Book Description
"Bringing together a wide diversity of authors based on three continents and from different disciplinary backgrounds, this book offers analyses of a wide range of factors that characterize and that are shaping the future of the African Sahel. In forty chapters, organized in nine sections, the book examines this complex and rapidly changing region on multiple dimensions. Collectively, the book attempts to offer an understanding of the specificity of the Sahel, and to examine its core characteristics as shaped by the geographic, cultural, and political parameters that define it. Following a series of chapters focused on the shaping of the Sahelian space as a region, six chapters explore the distinct national trajectories of the countries of the political Sahel: Senegal, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Mauritania, Chad. The extraordinary combination of environmental, economic and political challenges, and the ways in which Sahelian states and societies have responded, are the primary focus of the three subsequent sections, while the various parameters of the lived realities of these societies in motion are explored in the four final sections of the book. Transversally throughout, the chapters aim to offer an interdisciplinary and holistic view of the challenges and the dynamics that are shaping a region at an historical crossroads, and an understanding of the many factors that feed and perpetuate its vulnerabilities and fragilities, as well as its sources of resilience"--
