Abstract

Using the example of the ordinary town of Kasba Tadla, this chapter examines interrelations between urban development and urban practices. Starting with everyday practices and their significance for the constitution of space, the chapter investigates a recent urban development process on communal land. It highlights the importance of cooperation with local groups and points out frictions between urban planning and interests of diverse inhabitants, including groups with local tribal backgrounds and women. The results indicate that further research on urban practices, social organization and potentials of urban quarters, including informal settlements, are a basis for a better understanding of urban practices and for a development of flexible processes of urban growth, an idea that should be carefully considered within the overall processes of governing urban Africa.
