Editing the African city: reading colonial planning in Africa from a comparative perspective

Luce Beeckmans

Planning Perspectives, 2013, vol. 28, issue 4, 615-627

Abstract: In order to understand the complexity of the colonial city in Africa, this article suggests a comparative study on two levels, corresponding with two important phenomena in the planning process of African cities. The first level can be described as the diffusion of planning models to the colonies, and the second as the actual implementation of these planning models on the colonial terrain. Each level requires different scales of research and frames of analysis. They are particularly valuable when examined together.
