'This comparative analysis builds on a rich, personal engagement with the lived experiences of residents in peripheral areas of rapidly expanding urban regions. This book establishes what will surely be one of the pillars of an urban studies agenda, urgently needed for the twenty-first century.' >'This book greatly contributes to the reconceptualisation of the urban peripheries discourse, bringing to the fore the lived experience of people.' >'Africa is poised to take the top spot in terms of the scale and pace of urbanisation globally. In an engaging comparative study this book links the realities and experiences of three urban peripheries on the continent to a dynamic field of international debate. It is empirically rich and conceptually innovative.' >The edges of cities are increasingly understood as places of dynamism and change, but there is little research on African urban peripheries and the nature of building, growth, investment and decline that is shaping them. This multi-authored monograph examines African urban peripheries through a dual focus on the forces driving their transformation, and the experiences of living through these changes. Exploring the dynamics of peripheral change across three very different countries, it argues that urban peripheries evolve through five distinct but interconnected logics that drive periphery formation and change. Using substantial comparative empirical data from city-regions in Ethiopia, South Africa and Ghana, in conversation with research in other African contexts, the book provides a cogent analysis of spatial transformations and everyday life on the African city periphery.
