It's a mashup! We join up with the Governance Uncovered podcast from Jeffrey Paller and the Governance and Local Development Policy Institute to talk to Prince Guma, Astrid Haas, and Patience Mususa. Each is an expert on the urbanization of the continent.
We respond to Jeffrey's recent article in This Week in Africa, "Five Trends that will Shape Urban Africa in 2023," which highlights:

Innovative forms of affordable housing
Gentrifying neighborhoods
Heightened focus on emerging cities
Confronting flooding
The impact of big tech

Prince Guma is a researcher of cities, infrastructures and technologies in eastern Africa. Astrid Haas is an independent urban economist supporting cities and has worked extensively with city governments across Africa, the Middle East and Asia. And Patience Mususa is senior researcher at the Nordic Africa Institute, Uppsala.
