Recently, there has been a surge of African screen media representations of environmental awareness and solutions for sustainable communities as the Global South experiences increasing urban migration and climate change. Much of the focus in this work is on the precarity of daily life for those on the margins of large urban agglomerations. This article brings together theories and practices from the disciplines of urbanism, architecture and documentary cinema studies to examine some examples of how African artists are bringing attention to issues of urban precarity, climate change, survival and growth on the continent
