Summary Shaping sustainable, equitable African cities requires strengthened investigations into the cities’ current resource flows, infrastructure systems, and future requirements. The field of urban metabolism (UM) offers multiple forms analysis with which to map, analyse, visualize profiles. Challenges in assessing UM include data scarcity at city level, difficulty tracking informal lack standardized methods, open nature cities. However, such analyses are needed local given that...
African cities rely predominantly on the informal city for their growth, and much of infrastructure remains within boundaries original colonial settlements or cannot keep up with unplanned expansion. Informality is dominant in public transport systems, water food provision, energy generation waste removal. Thus, analysing flows energy, water, a difficult task as they are hard to track quantify. However, finding ways assess these an important step empower urban planners relevant knowledge...
