Integrating material on China in Africa, the mobile-phone revolution, the Millennium Development Goals, sustainable development, “land and water grabs,” food security, informal livelihoods, the “Green Revolution,” and new satellite cities, this text adopts a realistically optimistic narrative that focuses on Africa’s burgeoning cities. By using case studies to highlight important topics, Africa: Geographies of Change incorporates new perspectives from urban studies, public health, political geography, and sustainable development in order to provide a more nuanced understanding of African issues.
