Afrique: 'Le brun est beau' - Ce que Windhoek peut apprendre aux villes africaines
De nombreuses villes africaines ont commencé à élaborer des plans climatiques. Ceux-ci promettent des rues plus fraîches, des forêts urbaines et des toits végétalisés. Cette adaptation des villes au changement climatique est devenue une priorité urgente. Windhoek, la capitale de la Namibie, est une ville en pleine expansion qui s'étend sur des collines et dans des vallées. Ses banlieues côtoient des quartiers informels en pleine expansion.

Brown is beautiful: What Namibia’s capital Windhoek can teach African cities as they get hotter and drier
Many African cities have started drawing up climate plans. These promise cooler streets, urban forests and green roofs on buildings. This urban climate adaptation has become an urgent priority. Windhoek, Namibia’s capital, is a fast-growing city spread across hills and valleys. Its suburbs stand alongside expanding informal settlements. But life in this dry city is becoming harder. Rainfall is low and unpredictable and temperatures rise as high as 40°C.

Evidence and insights on dryland nature-based solutions for climate adaptation in semi-arid Windhoek, Namibia
Abstract Nature-based solutions (NbS) are widely promoted for climate adaptation, yet remain largely grounded in temperate, water-abundant contexts. This study develops a systematic conceptualisation of dryland nature-based solutions (DNbS) through a qualitative case study of Windhoek, Namibia. Drawing on four locally implemented projects and sixteen stakeholder interviews, it examines how adaptation practices are understood and applied in an arid urban environment.
Parks versus individuals?
Urban environment-friendly areas have actually just recently been getting more research study focus due to the advantages they provide. Gardens, parks, books and trees have actually been connected to social, spiritual and alternate clinical services. All-natural or semi-natural acreage can likewise supply environment services like foodtornado water monitoring and environment controlCities can plan and take care of these for optimum advantage.

Urban green spaces have recently been getting more research attention because of the benefits they offer. Gardens, parks, reserves and trees have been linked to cultural, spiritual and alternative medical solutions. Natural or semi-natural land areas can also deliver ecosystem services like food, storm water management and climate control. Cities can plan and manage these for maximum benefit.
A Decision Support Tool for Green Infrastructure Planning in the Face of Rapid Urbanization
Stakeholder Workshop We observed robust debate and in-depth conversations within the groups and between private consultants and city representatives at the first stakeholder workshop. In the forced ranking exercise, groups noted the interconnectedness of benefits, which made it challenging to consider them individually against the others.
Traditional healers need new spaces
Traditional healthcare practices are largely informal and unregulated. African traditional medicine and its practices were prohibited under the pretext of witchcraft in South Africa by the British and later the apartheid government. This led to secrecy in the practice and a lack of infrastructural planning to support it. As a result, traditional healthcare practices are largely informal and unregulated.
OPINION | Traditional healing in South Africa needs spaces designed for the purpose
African traditional medicine and its practices were prohibited under the pretext of witchcraft in South Africa by the British and later the apartheid government. This led to secrecy in the practice and a lack of infrastructural planning to support it. As a result, traditional healthcare practices are largely informal and unregulated. This raises questions around accessibility and patient safety, as well as the accountability of healers.
