Locating Urban Transitions in Africa
摘要
This chapter locates transitions in urban Africa to highlight a need to rethink in practical ways how urban transitions can bring together urban economies, risk reduction, response to climate change, and equitable development to avoid the urban lock-in. The chapter underscores the timing of global energy transitions for Africa to seize the opportunity of utilizing critical natural wealth for cleaner energy, localizing climate change response to kick start a gradual move away from bilateral and multilateral financial dependencies.
