Understanding the Challenges of Postcolonial Urban Planning in Sub‐Saharan Cities
Over the past six decades, most sub‐Saharan cities have undergone major urbanization and urban planning changes. In the context of urban planning, the post colonial critique is then a reasoned critique of the Eurocentrism of urban planning practices in sub‐Saharan Africa. Postcolonial urban planning seeks to debunk preconceptions about the immaturity of endogenous sub‐Saharan knowledge in urban planning. The existence of cities in sub‐Saharan Africa is a very old phenomenon. Contrary to the collective imagination, pre‐colonial Africa had several urban structures of varying levels of development. Colonialism in sub‐Saharan African countries has been characterized by the unilateral introduction of Western urban planning practices in the occupied territories. Sub‐Saharan African states have so far had urban development models that have been based on colonial, de‐colonial and neo‐colonial urban planning.
