Urban Enclaving Futures
The project "Enclaving: Patterns of global futures in three African cities" (UrbanEnclavingFutures) explores and maps the unequal distribution of urban resources in separated spaces across cities. In exploring enclaving more broadly, we recognize that social actors co-produce and engage urban spaces.

About the research project
Based on research in and on Accra, Johannesburg and Maputo we analyze enclaving as a globally emerging cultural orientation, which creates new social forms. By comparing enclaving in these cities, the project contributes to finding solutions for two key challenges of African urban development, namely housing and inequality.
Urban Enclaving Futures transcends the mere mapping of general enclaving patterns by applying a comparative methodological approach, in which the project divides between two subprojects (SP1 and SP2), three primary site teams (PSTs) and three metropolitan sites (MS).
The project's approach allows researchers to work in a cross-site fashion and for co-investigators, working together, to compare and juxtapose findings from SP1 (financing) and SP2 (inhabiting) as well as between MS1 (Accra), MS2 (Johannesburg) and MS3 (Maputo).
UrbanEnclavingFutures is divided into two main subprojects: SP1 (Financing) and SP2 (Inhabiting). Within each of these are the researchers respective case studies.
