From procedural rhetoric to substantive urban citizenship
Quasi-Formal Housing” in the United States
Housing insecurity in the United States continues to deepen, with conventional housing policies failing to meet the needs of unhoused populations. In response, tiny house villages (THVs) have grown as a grassroots solution, offering small, community-based dwellings. THVs sometimes operate outside conventional zoning and building regulations, reflecting a less formal mode of housing. Scholars have conceptualized similar arrangements using terms su…

The jugaad urbanism-sustainable circular cities nexus

Yet, as cities in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), including Ghana, continue to expand, agricultural lands are increasingly converted in…

Urban green infrastructure is critical for creating garden cities, promoting public health, environmental quality, and building resilience to climate change. While these spaces are increasingly recognised as valuable ecological and environmental assets, the state of urban green infrastructure in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) cities is concerning. Rapid urbanisation, weak enforcement of development controls, and informal settlements have reduced the av…
