Given that case studies of urban development in Africa are not largely represented in the mainstream literature of global urban studies as intimated by Robinson, this study of Ruwa helps feeds into that gap by providing vivid experiences of neo-liberal development. This experience is important in supporting some urban theoretical frameworks on Africa’s urban growth and development. The Ruwa experiences can be manipulated to explain neo-liberal-led development in Africa, “the right to the city,” and decolonisation of urban development among many theoretical perspectives in urban development. The book has analysed the role played by private land developer companies in the development of Ruwa from a private-public partnership approach perspective. Ruwa was exceptional for involving PLDCs in the development of the town.
