本章介绍了城市环境的历史地位，它塑造了非洲的各种社会、经济和政治变革。它介绍了几个存在于前殖民时期的非洲城市的例子。它还展示了非洲城市空间在殖民时期如何在数量和质量上发生显着变化。殖民城市沿着取代了一些殖民前的非洲城市，并在城市规划和提供基本基础设施方面发生了重大变化。非洲国家独立后，城市化进程加快，大城市大量出现，但殖民地城市规划的影响也不可忽视。今天，非洲有5亿多人口生活在城市地区。非洲城市人口预计将在2040年达到10亿，2050年达到15亿。
This chapter presents the historical place of the urban setting that has shaped various social, economic and political transformations in Africa. It presents several examples of African cities that existed in the pre-colonial period. It also shows how the African urban space remarkably changes during the colonial period both quantitatively and qualitatively. Some pre-colonial African cities were overtaken by colonial cities along with a significant change in terms of urban planning and provision of basic infrastructure. After independence of African countries, urbanization has accelerated with the apparition of large cities, but with the influence of the colonial urban planning. Today over half a billion of African population live in urban areas. This African urban population is projected to reach 1 billion in 2040 and 1.5 billion in 2050.
