Urban Research
Independent research on African urbanisation, housing, transport and climate resilience.
Overview
Research is not marketing. It is how the practice maintains a position. We publish studies on urbanisation patterns, housing economics, infrastructure and climate adaptation, and we test our own planning assumptions against them.
