Subject practical theology, urban studies, housing, urban planning Housing justice; a praxis-approach; oikos-theology; relief; development; advocacy; global solidarity.
Description Against the backdrop of Africa’s urban revolution and the vastly unequal housing patterns in most African cities, this article argues for just housing to be a theological praxis-agenda. Drawing from a very local journey in one South African city, it considers David Korten’s four generations of development as a possible framework to guide such a theological praxis-agenda in (South) African cities.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: It proposes simultaneous actions of relief, development, advocacy and global solidarity, grounded in an immersed faith, if the church is to contribute to housing justice in African cities.
