The African Futures Institute's mission is "to transform Africa’s built environments by educating a new generation of African architects, urban designers and policymakers to lead the global conversation around social and environmental equity. It aims to transform global architectural education by placing climate change, diversity and access at the centre of architectural pedagogy, not at its margins. By making space for the rich history of the Black Atlantic, the AFI’s scholarship will add to [the] understanding of spatial and urban histories in both the Global North and South."
