🧐 What is the Africa Urban Lab? Allow us to (re)introduce ourselves!

The Africa Urban Lab (AUL) is the first research center at the new Zanzibar campus of the African School of Economics. We're working to understand and shape the future of Africa's rapidly growing cities. 🏙️

🎉 We're excited to announce the launch of the University Coalition on Curricula for Cities (UCCC)!

Co-convened by the AUL, the UCCC brings together @aru_university, the @UrbanActionLab at @Makerere, and @KenyattaUni to co-create modern, Africa-focused urban planning curricula.

Yesterday, we welcomed our incredible students back to Fumba Town, and today we kicked off the first day of classes. Stay tuned for an exciting two weeks ahead! 🤩
