Description

Colonial Architecture and Urbanism in Africa examines how European powers shaped Africa's built environment through architectural and urban design as tools of control and authority. This scholarly work explores the intersection of architecture and urbanism as cultural projects that ordered and classified space whilst projecting European ideologies of science and progress across the continent. The book investigates how colonial institutions including courts, police, prisons and schools used built form to establish dominance, and analyses the lasting impacts of this colonial legacy on contemporary African cities. Essential reading for students and researchers studying postcolonial urbanism, architectural history, and the ways physical infrastructure continues to influence Africa's development trajectory and urban futures.

Key Features

Examines colonial architecture and urbanism as interconnected systems of power and control across African territories.

Explores how European colonial institutions used built environments to project authority and enforce ideological frameworks.

Analyses the lasting impacts of colonial design on present-day African cities and their postcolonial development.

Published by Routledge as part of the Design and the Built Environment series for academic study.

Addresses architecture and urbanism as discursive cultural projects rather than isolated design movements.

Suitable for higher education students and researchers studying colonial history, African studies and urban design.
