Postcolonial Urbanism

Postcolonial urbanism examines how cities in formerly colonized countries reflect the legacies of colonialism and the ongoing struggles for identity and power. It focuses on how urban spaces are shaped by historical injustices, economic inequalities, and cultural conflicts resulting from colonial rule. This field analyzes cities to understand how marginalized voices can reclaim their narratives and reshape their environments, addressing issues like displacement, inequality, and social justice. Ultimately, postcolonial urbanism seeks to create more inclusive, equitable urban spaces that honor diverse histories and promote community empowerment in the face of colonial legacies.
