Taubman Africa Alliance invites you to U-M African Presidential Scholar Ayisha Ida Baffoe-Ashun’s research colloquium, exploring the socio-spatial distribution of urban green infrastructure in two of Ghana’s major cities, Accra and Kumasi, focusing on the historical impact of colonial and post-colonial town planning on its contemporary distribution. The research investigates the influence of urban planning policies across three key periods—precolonial, colonial, and contemporary—and their influence on green space equity, public health, and environmental justice. The presentation will also address the need for new strategies to foster urban green infrastructure planning and development in Ghana’s rapidly urbanising cities for human well-being and environmental sustainability.
