Product Description

The presence of expatriate humanitarian workers in African cities is not neutral. Country
capitals receive large and sudden influx of expatriates during humanitarian crises
responses. This book examines the influence of this presence on the local urban ecosystem,
from the building of a security discourse to the self-segregation of aid agencies
in expatriate enclaves. The examples of Abidjan, Bamako, Juba and Nairobi illustrate
different variants of urban change induced by the normative power of aid organisations.

This work analyses the presence of humanitarian workers in African cities as a process of urban transformation. Humanitarian presence modifies the built environment and social relations. It results in development of economic activities targeted for expatriates while increasing an already unequal access to housing and privatisation of public space.
