I joined the University of Bristol’s Research Frontiers podcast to talk about my research on urbanisation. lnk.to/gsG7jepl

In Africa's fast growing cities, predicting patterns of urban expansion can help policymakers plan & invest in #SustainableDevelopment. Here, Felix Agyemang & I introduce TI-City - a model he pioneered to do just that odi.org/en/insights/mo… #cities #Africa #GlobalDevelopment

Africa’s policymakers and planners can plan and invest better if the expansion of African cities can be predicted more accurately. TI-City, a model I pioneered with support from Sean Fox ([email protected]) does just that. odi.org/en/insights/mo… #SustainableDevelopment #AfricanCities ODI Global | odi-global.bsky.social

Is energy data a good local proxy for living standards or economic activity in large urban areas? This paper with Sean Fox ([email protected]) and rashid memon provides evidence and insights. journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

If we can better model the expansion of African cities, we can plan them well and improve urban living conditions. I demonstrate with Sean Fox ([email protected]) an approach that improves our ability to model African cities. african-cities.org/modelling-urba…

In the quest to develop an urban expansion model that is well-suited to African cities, I interacted with diverse experts of urban development in Pretoria, Kumasi, Lagos, and Nairobi. Interesting lessons to be shared soon. #Africancities #ESRC

New Paper Alert 🔔 🔔 How has urbanisation in the Global South been modelled? mehebub sahana and I have reviewed progress and outlined key issues for future research. compass.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Existing urban growth models are ill-suited for African cities because they don’t capture the many factors that affect development decisions. TI-City, an agent-based model developed by Felix Agyemang, simulates household and developer activities to better project urban growth.
