SUMMARY:Private cities: urbanisation and public goods in post-war Somalia
DESCRIPTION:State institutions in Somalia have somewhat stabilized over the
  past  decade\, but public services remain minimal or inexistent. This is 
  evident in Somali cities\, which have grown rapidly over the past two  de
 cades. The commodification of urban land\, privatized water supply\,  more
  individual transport options or the absence of public space(s)  illustrat
 e the privatization of Somali cities. Drawing on collaborative  and compar
 ative research in six Somali cities\, this talk highlights  increasing soc
 io-spatial differentiation in the Somali urban space\,  various layers of 
 regulation beyond the state and the need to make urban  development more i
 nclusive. The dynamics of Somalia’s urban political  economies have so f
 ar eschewed scholarly inquiry and lend themselves for  comparative and int
 erdisciplinary considerations.\\r\\nTobias Hagmann is an associate profess
 or in international  development at the Department of Social Sciences and 
 Business at  Roskilde University in Denmark\, a research associate with th
 e Political  Geography chair at the University of Zurich in Switzerland an
 d a fellow  at the Rift Valley Institute in London/Nairobi.
