African Cities: Alternative Visions of Urban Theory and Practice
ISBN: 9781848135086 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. As African societies come to live more and more in cities, they do so in ways that challenge prevailing theories and models of urban development in geography, sociology, anthropology, and planning.
