Africa's urban population will double over the next 25 years. By 2040 at the latest, a majority of all Africans will be living in cities. Given this development, it is apparent that democratic political legitimacy will increasingly hinge on a socially and gender-equitable
provision of public goods and economic opportunities in African cities. Thus far, however, populations have been streaming into "unjust" cities, which were often erected in colonial times and in which historical inequalities have been further compounded by neo-liberal urban policies.
Public goods are scarce commodities.
This video that is produced by the FES Kenya office, looks at the concept of what a Just City is and what it means to the citizens of Kenya.
