Overview

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. 

We offer a broad palette of manuscript types, in academic and free formats (see Author Guidelines), thus aiming to establish a platform for knowledge circulation between urban scholars and practitioners coming from different horizons. The journal is grounded on inclusive values and understands the need to preserve linguistic nuances; hence, we accept the submission of manuscripts written in English or French, according to the authors’ preference.
