Under Construction: Technologies of Development in Urban Ethiopia

by Daniel Mains BS ’97

Daniel Mains BS ’97 authors this exploration of the current state of urban Ethiopia, home to one of the world’s fastest growing economies despite its unpopular ruling party’s association with corruption and mismanagement. Mains examines how urban development and governance interrelate, and how “progress” can continue while so many urban Ethiopians struggle to meet daily needs.
