MY PROFESSIONAL JOURNEY
04

I’ve been studying cities for more than 10 years now. Along the way, I’ve balanced various roles: as a researcher, writer, advisor and speaker. I’ve directed and been involved in several initiatives across the African continent that seek to transform cities towards sustainability, prosperity and inclusion. Through the years; working with research institutions, governments, communities, local and international organizations has equipped me with valuable experience on the urbanisation processes across Africa. I have had the privilege to publish findings from most of my research work in various formats which have contributed to better understanding of urban development in the global south, collectively termed “Southern urbanism.”

In my work on transformation of cities, I am driven by three values that inspire me work towards creating communities that are more livable across Africa.

My life's work on urban development is focused on ensuring the current planning and design co-exist harmoniously with the environment.

As cities are engines for economic growth, I believe unlocking the economic potential of cities improve livelihoods of communities.

I believe in shared prosperity, by developing cities that cater for needs of all people in the community.
