The African Cities Journal is the first peer-reviewed journal that promotes a multi- and trans-disciplinary approach to urban studies in Africa, edited in two languages (English and French). In addition to promoting research on African cities and sustainable development, one of the journal's primary missions is to highlight innovative perspectives from various players based on this same continent, who have the advantage of direct contact with the field. In this sense, a large proportion of our editorial committee comprises experts from different African regions. 

It is developed in partnership with EPFL and University Mohammed VI Polytechnic.
The journal also receives support from African Cities Lab.
