Abstract

This policy brief reflects on the participatory approaches adopted to improve knowledge of small-scale and everyday urban risks. Through these approaches, urban risk traps were captured to assess mitigation efforts by a range of actors, revealing the embedded `capacities to act’ on the captured risks.

This is an output from the Urban Africa: Risk Knowledge (Urban ARK) programme
