text: 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.

text: '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. '
