I really appreciate the research Sir David Adjaye (@dadjaye) does on African cities and posts on social media, our continent is severely undocumented and unpublished and people like him are really important.
Lusaka, Zambia’s capital on the Central African Plateau, blends African settlement traditions, colonial legacy, and modern aspirations.Its skyline features modern commercial buildings and informal settlements. The city is Zambia’s vibrant cultural and economic centre.
Maseru, the capital of Lesotho, sits on the Caledon River along the Lesotho-South Africa border. Shaped by its history and environment, the city blends African traditions and European colonial influence. Today, the city’s centre is a mix of modern and colonial stone structures.
Atiq Mosque, Awjila, Libya, is considered to be the oldest mosque in the Sahara. Its interior spaces are made of columns and arches which carry and support above them the 21 conical whitewash beehive domes made of mud bricks and limestone.
Windhoek, Namibia, a mountain city on the Khomas Highland plateau, embodies a blend of indigenous heritage, African influences, and colonial urbanism shaped by its geography. Today, Windhoek’s urban landscape reflects its colonial and apartheid and Modern African legacy.
Tripoli, Libya, located along the Mediterranean coast, reflects a rich blend of African, Phoenician, Roman, Arab, Ottoman, and European influences. Today, the city reflects its layered history, from the old Medina’s traditional streets to colonial quarters and modern suburbs.
Tunis, Tunisia, located at the northernmost tip of Africa along the Mediterranean coast, has been shaped by diverse historical influences, including Berber, Phoenician, Roman, Arab, Ottoman, and European cultures.
N’Djamena, Chad, is located at the confluence of the Chari and Logone rivers. The city incorporates African,European and Islamic traditions. Today, N’Djamena reflects a blend of colonial, traditional, and modern architectural styles.

Algiers, Algeria, occupies a strategic position along the Mediterranean’s northwestern edge, overlooking a vast bay. The city’s urbanism reflects its layered history of settlement, conquest, and adaptation, shaped by African, Phoenician, Roman, Ottoman, and European influences.
Niamey, Niger, situated on the Niger River plateau, evolved from a fishing village to a bustling urban center, shaped by both African and colonial influences. Today private homes tend to reflect Western influences and public buildings showcasing local aesthetics.
Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso, lies at the heart of the country, blending indigenous African traditions and colonial influences. Today, the city’s modern district, Ouaga 2000, symbolizes Burkina Faso’s aspirations.
