The Wits-TUB-UniLag Urban Lab's African Urbanisms conference will provide a space to 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. The conference will take place between October 23 and 26 at the Wits University's School of Architecture and Planning.
