The book is a collection of essays by young African architects, urban planners and activists addressing urgent urban challenges across the continent. It was edited by Kuukuwa Manful, Emmanuel Ofori-Sarpong and Julia Gallagher.
The editors and two of the book’s authors – Olufèmi Hinson Yovo and Fiona Nyadero – spoke at the launch about the book’s themes and the broader project from which it comes.

The shift to online events has made architectural discussions far more accessible, which is particularly valuable for topics like African futures that benefit from diverse perspectives. For those who like to sketch or annotate while watching talks, a quick digital sketching tool can be a handy way to capture ideas visually without breaking focus.
