Project
Mapping the Invisible City. Spatial Manifestations of sub-Saharan African Diaspora in the mid-size city in Europe (the case of Belgium).
This interdisciplinary research seeks to establish a critical and multi-layered mapping of the processes and products of physical place-making by African diaspora in the mid-sized city in Belgium. The outcome of this research will provide us with essential knowledge on (1) the architecture of everyday spaces of African migration, (2) the transnational exchange of African place-making strategies, and (3) alternative forms of urban regeneration.
