Africa's "Modern" Constructions Are Climate Disasters Africa needs buildings that make sense for Africa. Too many of our cities are filled with glass, concrete, and steel structures that trap heat, block airflow, and force people to depend on expensive air conditioning just to survive indoors. That is the opposite of "development." It is actually spectacularly poor planning. Our ancestors understood climate before it became a conference topic. They built with the land, used local materials, created shade, allowed air to move, and designed homes that worked with the environment. Unfortunately, we keep copying people who never designed for our climate in the first place. Construction in Africa needs to be decolonized, and that must start with a mindset change and re-education.
