In this paper we argue for scholarship on Africa's new cities and policy mobilities, generally, to recognise land ownership as one of the constituents and determinants of how and why new urban visions are mobilised and implemented.

In 1930, the colonial govt of Gold Coast (now Ghana) bought about 5 sq km of land in Achimota, marginally increasing its meagre land holdings, to set up a Forest Reserve. In 2013, the govt transformed the reserve into an Eco-park. This month, the Prez ended the reserve status.

During Women’s month, I’m honored to host Professor Esther Duflo of MIT, the 2019 Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, at our “Africa Economics Seminar Series” on Thursday (3/24).
