• Africa a continent of small villages in the jungle and savannah?
• Certainly not.
• The urbanisation of the continent is advancing rapidly, while African cities and metropolitan regions are among the fastest growing in the world.
• Africa Drawn presents one hundred of the most connected and important cities of the continent.
• A visual feast of three hundred images and masterfully drawn plans illustrates contemporary and historical place-making actions in Africa.
• The result is simultaneously an artistic and visually fascinating documentation of African urban space and a convincing analysis of its structure and morphology, thus providing a spatial point of departure for all interested parties.
• The drawings are accompanied by introductory texts and, for the first time, render possible a comparison of the diverse urban form on the continent.
• The study attempts to provide an indispensable resource of spatial and figure ground patterns in the context of urban space in Africa.
