Описание: The present book highlights studies that show how smart cities promote urban economic development. Although there are hypotheses on how smart cities generate wealth and social benefits for nations, there are no significant empirical studies available on how they generate urban economic development through urban spatial adaptation.

Описание: Examines the making and remaking of Nairobi, one of Africa`s most fragmented, vibrant cities, contributing to debates on urban anthropology, the politics of the past and postcolonial materialities.
In the coming decades, countries around the world will face increasingly severe challenges related to global climate change. While the details vary from country to country, the impacts will be especially grave for marginalized people, whose access to food, potable water, and safe shelter may be threatened due to fluctuations in rainfall and temperature, and to extreme weather events. Because weather extremes are the main way that climate change manifests itself, water governance is a crucial aspect of climate change resilience.
Following an overview of the ways climate change is affecting three cities in Africa, Water and Climate Change in Africa: Challenges and Community Initiatives in Durban, Maputo and Nairobi discusses the equity and climate justice implications, and then gives examples of ways in which a range of local community organizations are extending their current activities to address these challenges through innovative new programs and initiatives at the grassroots. This approach has implications for communities worldwide; it is a process of building on existing organizations' aptitudes and strengths in the light of local knowledge of climate challenges, and creating partnerships to build equity-enhancing new methods of protecting people's subsistence.
This book should be of interest to climate change scholars, activists and policy-makers, as well as development studies researchers and practitioners.

Описание: This book sheds light on Africa`s urban refugee spaces and is an expose and critical analysis of state-refugee relations in Nairobi, Kenya. The author employs Henry Lefebvre`s work on "right to the city" to explore and qualify whether the literature on urban citizenship can speak to Nairobi`s context.
