African Centre for Cities

The year under review was another busy, challenging and rewarding
one for the African Centre for Cities (ACC). Existing programmes of
teaching and debate were cemented; joint research and publication were
extended; new programmes and liaisons were initiated.
The ACC emerged strengthened, more diversified and better profiled as
an applied urban research centre in Cape Town, and as an increasingly
vigorous, visible and viable axis of urban studies in Africa. The various
strands of work accomplished during the year are set out below with
mention of key participants, plans and future directions. The Director of
the ACC, Professor Edgar Pieterse, gratefully acknowledges the efforts of
colleagues mentioned in the Report.
