About the article[edit]

This article is based on an the result of an assignment in module A in African studies at the University of Trondheim, Norway. The assignmnet could be translated to: "Discuss the links between urbanization growth and politics in the colonial and postcolonial Africa"

I have tried to adapt it somewhat to Wikipedia and added the precolonial part, but it quite certainly needs a lot more work especially with:

Language: This is a rough translation from a rough paper, much work needed.
Figures/tables: Made by Openoffice, adjusted by me, needs wikification and major facelift.
Figures not included: Maybe I'll provide some kind of list.
Formatting references.
Wikipedia adaptation: NPOV, etc.

Edits Made[edit]

Today I will be updating the pre-colonial section of the article adding a little more information on each of the regions as well as an intro paragraph describing urbanization as a whole in precolonial Africa. Add more descriptions of the structures of towns/cities as well as reasons why urbanization took place. ---User:Jack.Schriber77 11:06, 11 November 2023

Today Will be adding photos and updating the article as a whole ---User:Jack.Schriber77 11:06, 16 November 2023

Adding a section on central Africa ---User:Jack.Schriber77 11:06, 17 November 2023

Today I added a colonial photo of Africa, so people can get an idea of what the map looked like in the 1900s.I also added to the a section to the Nile valley, which explains why Africa North of the Sahara grew so much quicker than the rest of Africa. I also added a source, and just restructured a few things overall. ---User:can7f5 11:06, 17 November 2023
