Abstract

The DPU MSc ESD/SLURC learning alliance was established in 2017 and brings together a number of partners: the practice module of the MSc Environment and Sustainable Development (MSc ESD) at the Development Planning Unit, University College London- led by Adriana Allen and Rita Lambert; the Sierra Leone Urban Research Centre (SLURC-www.slurc.org/)- a globally connected research centre in Freetown directed by Braima Koroma and Joseph Macarthy; and the Federation of Rural and Urban Poor (FEDURP) headed by Yirah Conteh. Building upon the DPU MSc ESD/SLURC learning alliance’s research conducted over the last three years, this compilation of reports, written by the 2020-2021 ESD Masters students, captures the work conducted during the fourth and closing year of the learning alliance which was led by Rita Lambert and Pascale Hofmann. The compilation is structured around four different but connected thematic areas: Ecological Infrastructure, Food Security, Land and Housing, and Urban Infrastructure and Services to offer fresh insights for pathways towards environmental justice in Freetown. Freetown exemplifies the conditions that affect many other cities in sub-Saharan Africa, where urbanisation is increasingly coupled with the production of environmental injustices, underpinned by spatially and socially unequal development.
