This was my second trip to sub-Saharan Africa as part of the Urban ARK project, and quite a different experience to the first. This trip was mainly to attend the Urban ARK open science conference and meetings with various stakeholders.

Through a joint initiative, Urban ARK and UN Habitat have published an open access book titled 'Breaking Cycles of Risk Accumulation in Africa Cities'. DOWNLOAD HERE: unhabitat.org/breaking-cycles-of-risk-accumulation-in-african-cities
