The aim of this third State of the African Cities report is to provoke discussion at the highest levels about the desirable redirection of Africa’s ongoing urban transitions. However, this report does not give ready-made solutions. Each region, nation, city and locality is different and sustainability innovations must be tailored to specificities that vary between localities and over time. Urbanization, industrialization, sustained economic growth and broadbased human development feed on each other and, under correct guidance, can become mutually reinforcing. For the latter to happen, Africa has few realistic options other than a profound reimagining of what exactly constitutes the road towards sustainable urban transitions.
