It's difficult to fathom what constitutes appropriate sustainable urbanisation policy amidst persistent systemic inequalities, decaying institutional bodies, and hollow political discourse. In Melbourne School of Design’s third Dean's Lecture of the year, founding director of African Centre for Cities at the University of Cape Town Professor Edgar Pieterse will explore how to create working and sustainable urban policy in the Global South. In rethinking urban policy, Edgar looks to Africa where emerging urban sustainability experiments are moving communities towards a more just and culturally welcoming environment.
