These electricity access indicators manifest themselves in limited hours of electricity supply, estimated billing, and abrupt interruption of electricity daily. The electricity challenges encountered threaten the actualisation of the Sustainable Development Goal 7 across the LGA. This study assesses access to grid electricity in Suleja LGA. In carrying out this assessment, the indicators of grid electricity access by employing the Multi-tier energy framework to measure access to grid electricity and the performance of SDG 7 in Suleja LGA was examined. Using data collected from 149 households in Suleja LGA, household socio-economic characteristics were used to evaluate the household determinant of electricity access. The study reveals that acute duration and reliability of electricity access were recorded in Suleja LGA with indexes of 0.26 and 0.17, respectively. Aggregate grid electricity access of 0.61, which implies fair electricity access, was also recorded in Suleja LGA. The study further shows that the income of the household head is the only significant predictor (<.001) of the level of grid electricity access, while other factors do not significantly influence the level of grid electricity access 9 > 0.05. This study thus recommends improving the duration and reliability of grid electricity supplied by the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC). The study further recommends that the good indexes recorded for affordability, health/safety, and quality of electricity supply should be sustained by the AEDC.","PeriodicalId":444854,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Inclusive Cities and Built Environment","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124418185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of the study is to critically review predominant modes of curricula, pedagogy, and practice, to identify possibilities for inclusive approaches towards transformative spatial thinking and practice. The main question guiding the study is, how can an alternative system facilitate inclusion in the spatial transformation of historically marginalised communities? Decoloniality, socio-economic emancipation and pedagogic inclusion define the theoretical framework of the paper. This qualitative study is supported by a phenomenological paradigm. The research methods include a literature review, precedent study, and refers to the South African context as a case study. It must be noted that the paper is written in a decolonial style that draws on the author’s lived experiences in a marginalised South African community. The study proposed an alternate dispensation in the form of a conceptual framework for spatial transformation defined by transformed modes of built environment, thinking and practice facilitated through the formation of an inclusive, critical learning community.","PeriodicalId":444854,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Inclusive Cities and Built Environment","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130196599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first satellite city was established to provide affordable housing to low-income residents, and a site for the resettlement of slum residents from urban Rabat, the capital of Morocco. Currently, Tamesna City is far away from meeting the criteria of a satellite city. As a result, the social housing settlement / satellite city of Tamesna as a ‘hope city – space of exceptions and expectations’ in the beginning has become a dormitory – ghost town, a city with no signs of life. This article’s objective is describing the satellite town of Tamesna case in terms of contemporary satellite city and social housing concepts as governmental ‘reterritorialization’ implementations in post-colonial Morocco. Contextually, this article aims to contribute equally to the understanding of the governmental policy implications including international (incomplete) investments (as post-colonial imperialism) to discuss the reasons behind the ‘New Cities’ social housing & satellite city policies including removing the poor from the city to a designed – designated ‘nowhere’ by creating ‘useful / useless’ Morocco once again after colonial time period in the country. The methodology of the paper is based on literature reviews, research on documents obtained from the governmental archive, observations, and interviews with stakeholders, designers, planners and inhabitants.","PeriodicalId":444854,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Inclusive Cities and Built Environment","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123585669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Historically Africa was under the gaze and submissive to the imaginings of western vision. Africans as drivers of development prove to be difficult as global coloniality continues to shape inclusivity, autonomy, and spatial activities. Reimagining the future of cities is aligned with the way global coloniality unpacks how modernisation takes place. Decoloniality becomes important in that it gives Africans the space to think about autonomy to plan how can issues of inclusivity be addressed in the context of providing sustainable cities in line with spatial justice. The main drivers of reimagining the cities of the future are environmental sustainability and disruptive technology. Environmental sustainability and technological vision/disruptive technology are very problematic in the African context. In the African context, environmental issues are secondary as social inequalities and political issues are at the forefront of African lived experiences. Technology although present continues to exacerbate the gap between the “haves and the have nots”. This paper critically explores the future of cities concerning decoloniality, inclusivity and autonomy. It highlights key discussions about decoloniality and helps to unpack an African perspective towards reimagining future cities. The purpose of this paper is to bring to the forefront what sustainability means for smart cities in Africa, and if they are ready to take on an autonomous role in defining the future of cities.","PeriodicalId":444854,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Inclusive Cities and Built Environment","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127671994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The physical environment of a university campus is a place with distinct character. Apart from their functional requirements as places of learning and knowledge production, buildings and landscapes form a textual lens through which to examine higher education provisioning across time. This article discusses the chronological history of the Howard College campus of the University of KwaZulu-Natal through the lens of architecture. This article also argues that architecture can be viewed as a ‘text’ which can be a form of language that can be comprehended and interpreted through various architectural styles, elements, form and layouts. It discusses how university campus buildings are illuminating reflections of the political, cultural and educational landscape contexts of different periods within the physical development of a higher education institution. Four campus buildings established in different periods with different architectural styles and features were analysed in this article with a particular focus on colonial architecture and its influence on campus buildings. The article proposes “architectural literacy” as a construct to inform a qualitative historical insight into the changing landscape of the higher education system in South Africa and the university of KwaZulu-Natal. It also provides insight into the various transformations in the built environment of the university campus from its colonial inception to its evolving decolonised state through the campus buildings.","PeriodicalId":444854,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Inclusive Cities and Built Environment","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128071529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Extensive research has shown that land reform laws and relocation approaches in some remote areas of Zimbabwe are politicised and not consistent and, therefore, catastrophic. However, most studies in land reform and resettlement have been limited, persistently focusing on the impacts and constitutionality of Zimbabwe’s 2000s land reform program. This study seeks to contribute to the land reform debate by examining the Zimbabwean government’s land reform and relocation activities between 2015 and 2021 using a case study of the Chilonga and Mazoe governmentled resettlement programmes. Three key empirical questions are asked - What are the government’s intended strategies when relocating the Chilonga and Mazoe people? Is there any resemblance with the colonial resettlement approaches? What legal instruments were used, and were they constitutionally justified? Data for this study was drawn mainly from a systematic review of documents and interviews with key informants and victims (n=40) of the government-led resettlements. Analysis shows that the government’s resettlement approaches bear a significant resemblance to the unconstitutional procedures the colonial government employed. We argue that the government’s post-2000 land reform laws, especially between 2015 and 2021, must be cleansed of the colonial elements that allow the government to manipulate the laws to suit their political needs at the expense of the general populace.","PeriodicalId":444854,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Inclusive Cities and Built Environment","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116819277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Deeply entrenched fault lines of inequality manifest in the divided city conundrum witnessed in prominent cities in Nigeria. Cityscapes are inundated with pockets of isolated sectorial neighbourhoods for the rich and poor within the same municipal boundary. Although, segregation is typified by economic and social class, the foundations of these fault lines were engrained by colonial planning ordinances which abrogated different standards for European and Native areas. A synopsis of colonial planning ordinances in Nigeria with the searchlight upon the segregatory enactments embellished and propelled by these promulgations was corroborated with key informant interview of town planning administrators. This brought to the fore the discriminatory approach of colonial planning standards and its creation of divided cities with distinct European and Native areas. Analytical review of post-colonial planning regulations indicate a futile non-departure from the segregatory nuances of colonial ordinances. In place of racial segregation imposed by colonial ordinances, reinforcement of spatial inequalities along socio-economic dimensions has been entrenched post-independence. Moving forward, this paper advocates a strategic trajectory towards inclusivity through a review of extant physical planning and land use laws to address the multifarious constructs of spatial inequalities inherent in Nigerian cityscapes.","PeriodicalId":444854,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Inclusive Cities and Built Environment","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114211889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
