Kenya: First Pan-African Architecture Biennial Examines the City of Tomorrow
According to France 24, an unprecedented architecture event took place this week in Kenya to rethink the design of African cities in the face of demographic growth and climate change.
The very first pan-African architecture biennial took place this week in Kenya, reports France 24 in its Africa Journal program.
According to the channel, this event aims to address a central question: how should we think about the African city of tomorrow? This includes imagining urban spaces that are adapted to population growth and climate change.
France 24 also emphasizes that this reflection is part of a desire to break free from a colonial past that, according to the media, remains sometimes very present in current African urban planning.
The event brings together architecture professionals from several countries across the continent, although the exact number of participants and the list of speakers were not specified in the report.
