摘要、提要註:	This book offers a broad range of scholarly interpretations of the evolving forms, the changing dynamics, and the unexpected surprises thatcharacterize contemporary African cities. It wrestles with important questions concerning how large numbers of people without regular work nevertheless find ways to survive and even prosper. It balances investigations of particular cities in sub-Saharan Africa with considerations ofa diversity of topics, themes and multi-city comparisons, including themes in: culture, imagination, place and space; political economy and work livelihoods; and urban planning and governance. The collection is both theoretically informed and empirically grounded. Aimed at mid-levelundergraduate students, these essays, taken as a whole, provide an understanding of whatis happening in African cities today, and why.
