ANZA #8: Unintended consequences
In this issue, we try to focus/highlight on the consequences of urbanism through a positive lens. Throughout the magazine, we can see how people in the contexts of East Africa and beyond, unintentionally reshaped their state-planned spaces by providing more individuality. This issue reminds us that while planning processes are necessary, we must accommodate the possibility for the unknown. This unknown is what the end users will use to fundamentally shape the identity of their spaces.
