Zusammenfassung:"How does development intersect with religious urbanization to shape contemporary African cityscapes? To answer this question, contributors from across Europe, North America and Africa are brought together to explore mega-cities including Lagos, Cairo, Dar es Salaam and Kinshasa as powerful venues for the creation and implementation of models of development. This book interrogates how religious socio-spatial models and strategies engage with challenges of infrastructural development, urban social cohesion and inclusion. Chapters explore how urban faith-based practices of ‘development’ link moral subjectivities with individual and wider aspirations for modernisation, change, deliverance and prosperity. This volume brings together ethnographically rich and theoretically grounded case studies of religious urbanisation across the African continent. It advances discussions of the role of religion in development and documents the complex, multifaceted socio-cultural and political dynamics associated with religious urbanisation in Africa."
