Black Urbanisms - Episode 4: Black Urbanisms and Theorising from Africa

In this final episode of UCL Urban Laboratory’s podcast series, we continue to put Prof AbdouMaliq Simone’s work on ‘Blackness and the Urban’ in conversation with scholars who also presented during the ‘At the frontiers of the urban’ conference. Here we probe the relationship between Black urbanisms and land governance in African cities with Dr Evance Mwathanga, alongside excerpts from Prof Wilbard Kombe’s talk on the urban transformations being driven by an inadequately regulated market/real estate sector. Dr Wilbard Kombe is Professor of Urban Land Management and Director of the Institute of Human Settlements Studies at Ardhi University. Dr Evance Mwathunga is the Head of Geography and Earth Sciences Department at Chancellor College, University of Malawi.
