  abstract     = {{Many African countries are home to extraordinary architecture that is virtually unknown. There are interpretations of Art Deco, International Style, Brutalism as well as of African vernacular architecture. Climate-responsive buildings with a fluidity of interior and exterior spaces play a large role. While many of these 20th century architects were of European origin, they were deeply influenced by their surroundings and found original, site-specific expressions, often in collaboration with African architects. A focus of the construction activities were educational buildings which played an important role for these young nations that mostly gained their independence in the 1960s. While some of the documented buildings have been restored, others are still awaiting reconstruction.}},

  abstract     = {{hapter 6 explores the multifaceted relationship between NBS and human health in urban environments. It begins by discussing the interconnectedness of nature and human well-being, highlighting the potential of NBS in reducing environmental stressors, restoring capacities and inviting for a more (inter-)active lifestyle. The chapter then delves into specific aspects of health addressed by NBS, such as the mitigation of air pollution and the enhancement of thermal comfort. Additionally, it examines the role of allotment gardens in promoting well-being and social cohesion within urban communities. Furthermore, the chapter explores how NBS can encourage healthy behaviour among urban residents, offering insights into understanding behavioural patterns. Concluding with recommendations for practitioners, the chapter underscores the importance of effectively implementing NBS to improve health and well-being in urban settings. }},
