Rezensionen
'his book constitutes an effort in the right ... as the case study method research methodology promises to be an effective tool for research and teaching that deepens our contextualized understanding of the urbanization realities in Africa. I recommend researchers and lecturers of graduate and postgraduate students in planning and architecture to read this book for it should inform their research approach, relevant education curricula and teaching methods.
