THEME: ARCHITECTURE OF PLACE
Urban form addresses the physical characteristics that constitute human settlements including shape, size, order, density and spatial definition that responds to population growth. Such ordered morphology is not legible in sub-Saharan African cities in spite of participation in previous global sustainability conventions. Arising from preparative meetings towards 2016 Habitat III, African nations collectively emphasized localism as the much-needed catalyst for sustainability to be meaningful on city scale. The recent redefinition of cosmopolitan ideals has given a new meaning to the word localism. Cosmopolitan localism was coined by Wolfgang Sachs as solutions to global problems on local scale driven by place making principles but linked to global networks in the sharing of compatible resources, information and technology (Manzini 2011).
