Map showing the locations of case study projects. Figure 1 shows the location of case study projects in Durban and Stellenbosch in South Africa as well as Kampala city in Uganda. Two human settlements and one municipality are shown in the map: Enkanini settlement in Stellenbosch; eThekwini Municipality in Durban; and Bwaise III settlement in Kampala city. All these urban settlements have a deeply integrated type of informal economic activities with continued organic development of business premises and services that contrast with centralized systems used as the benchmark for measuring progress of a formal city in the global north. The socio-economic and environmental characteristics of the three settlements stimulated empirical analyses of experimental practices which look across science, policy and societal domains, with the intention of providing an understanding of how the process of co-producing knowledge unfolds in African city settings
