The objective of Art & Architecture at Work at the 24th UN Habitat Governing Council Meeting [1] is to promote the role of art and architecture at the service of inclusive and sustainable urban development in African cities. Bottom-up initiatives, participatory approaches, and community involvement are increasingly valued in urban planning. Artists and architects together bring significant input to the process. Through the investment of public spaces, public art, and public architecture, they can engage civil society towards cultural ownership of the city and steer urban growth towards sustainable and inclusive patterns, alongside state-driven initiatives. Art & Architecture at Work presents recent best practices in Africa, as models to be encouraged as part of the urban planning processes. [1] http://www.unhabitat.org/categories.asp?catid=744
