dc.descriptionAfrica has a long and rich history of urbanization dating back thousands of years. Cities in ancient Egypt, the Western Sudan, Nigeria, Ethiopia, the East African City States, and Southern Africa appeared long before the arrival of Europeans to Africa’s coasts. Since the Second World War, however, the pace of urban growth has increased rapidly, ensuring that studies of the political, social, economic, and cultural systems of the urban environments would follow close behind. Since the dawn of African history as a scholarly field in western universities, the urban historiography of Africa has progressed from a myopic view of specific groups in city centers to a larger inter-relational approach that explores actions and interactions within particular urban settings.-
