This book addresses the relevance of the case study research methodology for enhancing urban planning research and education in Africa and the global South. It is the outcome of a project operated by the Association of African Planning Schools (AAPS) from 2007 to 2011 to enhance case study research capacity amongst African planning students and academics. The editors and contributors argue that case study research can produce contextualized and empirical accounts of African urbanization and planning processes to challenge outdated assumptions underpinning urban planning education and practice in many parts of the continent. The volume features case studies and examples of innovative teaching practices from contexts including Uganda, Malawi, Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa.
