CONTACT ZONES OF CLIMATE PRECONSTRUCTION IN COASTAL AFRICA

Jon Schubert

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, 2025, vol. 49, issue 5, 1263-1275

Abstract: This essay advances the notion of coastal contact zones as heuristic lens, and develops the conceptual framework of climate preconstruction, bringing them together to better understand the challenges and realities of climate change adaptation in African coastal cities and beyond. By centring African expertise and actors while accounting for global embeddedness and historically sedimented inequalities, we can come to a more agentive, processual and just understanding of adapting cities to the climate crisis.
