Unjust Developments: City Building, Inequalities, Urban Futures

This event is co-organised by LSE Firoz Lalji Institute for Africa and the Urban Salon.

Join leading scholars of urbanisation, development, and African cities for a discussion of Unjust Developments: City Building, Inequalities, Urban Futures in Addis Ababa.

The panel will explore questions of urban development, inequality, and the social and political consequences of city-building projects, using Ethiopia as a lens for broader debates about urban futures and justice. The discussion will bring together scholars working on urbanisation, development, and African cities, followed by audience Q&A.
