Expert
I research into the level of inclusivity/exclusivity of the socially marginalised persons in capitalist spaces and business enclaves, enclaves of exclusion, levels of representation and examine the everyday activities of these people as disruptive of high-end planning that have been associated with African cities' planning. My research re-reads urban spaces in African cities and by so doing decolonise the prevailing hegemonic urban planning ideals.
