Call

Africa

The call for papers for the African Urbanisms Conference organised by the Wits-TUB-UNILAG Urban Lab is now open. The conference will take place from October 23 to October 26, 2024 in Johannesburg, South Africa, hosted by the School of Architecture and Planning at the University of the Witwatersrand. The conference will explore the multiplicity of interlinked African urbanisms as a starting point to question the status quo of urban policies and planning paradigms, to seek transformative practices that present alternatives to "business as usual" urban development, and to imagine alternative urban futures. Therefore, the conference will bring together work at different scales, exploring a variety of urbanisation experiences and responses to challenges African cities are facing.

 

You can find all the sessions open to presentation proposals organised in three thematic streams Critical Engagements, Transformative Practices, and Alternative Futures on the conference website. If you consider submitting a contribution, please carefully read the instructions on the conference website.

 

The call will close on April 21, 2024.

 

The conference will, in the first instance, be in-person and participation will be free of charge.
