A person wearing a conference lanyard stands in front of a presentation screen above text that reads “How water shapes African cities: Wilfred Jana’s PhD on governance, inequality and urban development,” alongside the UCL logo.

Why does urban water inequality persist?

Congrats to Wilfred Jana 🎓 His PhD at @ucl.ac.uk Geography shows how water governance in Lilongwe shapes uneven urban development across local, national & global scales.

Five African cities selected for ACRC’s implementation phase - ACRC The African Cities Research Consortium (ACRC) is commencing pilot action research projects in four African cities: Nairobi, Kenya; Harare, Zimbabwe; Maiduguri, Nigeria and Mogadishu, Somalia.

At the same time, we're moving ahead with setting up some exciting new action research projects in five #AfricanCities, which are aiming to address some of the issues identified by city teams.

More on that here... 👇

Graphic card with heading text reading "City research" and a map of Africa, with the following cities marked: Freetown, Sierra Leone; Accra, Ghana; Lagos, Nigeria; Maiduguri, Nigeria; Bukavu, DRC; Kampala, Uganda; Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; Mogadishu, Somalia; Nairobi, Kenya; Dar es Salaam, Tanzania; Lilongwe, Malawi; Harara, Zimbabwe. Accra, Lagos, Kampala, Nairobi are highlighted yellow, signifying that these are "implementation phase cities".

🔎 We've been conducting in-depth research into #urbandevelopment challenges in 12 #AfricanCities – particularly trying to unpack how these are underpinned by politics and city systems, and how they play out across different urban development domains.
