Edgar Pieterse – African Urbanism / TALK (EN)

Edgar Pieterse is one of the most influential urbanists in Africa. The founder of the African Centre for Cities, University of Cape Town, South Africa, talks about the development of cities – around the world and on the African continent. The growing urbanisation of many regions of Africa – with 50 percent of inhabitants expected to live in cities by the year 2030 – raises questions about the design of an urban space that can also provide a productive impetus for the development of cities on other continents.
