One rooted in local industry, knowledge sovereignty, climate resilience, and citizen dignity. From digital sovereignty to climate-proof roads, from participatory public works to localized supply chains, this book maps a future where infrastructure is not built for donors but for Africans, by Africans.Whether you are an engineer, policymaker, student, or concerned citizen, this book will challenge what you think infrastructure is, and what it could become.Infrastructure is not just concrete. It is power. And it's time to take it back.
