This open access book explores key issues and presents recent case studies in areas of importance for the transition to a circular model of development in emerging African countries that will minimize resource consumption and waste production. The topics covered include the development of sustainable housing models, energy and environmental issues in building design and technical systems, recycling for a sustainable future, models for humanitarian emergencies, and low-cost and web-based digital tools with applications in architecture and archaeology. 
The aim is to contribute to a necessary paradigm shift with respect to urban planning and usage of territories, moving from a linear urban metabolism based on the “take, make, dispose” approach to a circular metabolism. Such a change requires a focus on the relationship between the architectural, urban, and physical aspects of new developments, climate, and energy demand, as well as the identification and integration of strategies and infrastructures to achieve a high level of efficiency and self-sufficiency. The book will appeal to all with an interest in sustainable development in the African context.

Innovative Models for Sustainable Development in Emerging African Countries 1st Table of contents:

Part 1: Housing Models and Sustainable Settlements

• BECOMe – Business Ecosystem Design for Sustainable Settlements in Mogadishu: This project focuses on designing sustainable settlements in Mogadishu, Somalia, addressing the urban challenges through eco-friendly, business-oriented housing models.
• New Foundation Cities: The concept of establishing new cities with sustainability and social welfare at their core, particularly relevant for addressing the rapid urbanization and housing challenges in sub-Saharan Africa.
• Strategic Project for Socio-Assistance Architecture in Marginal Contexts: The case study of the Gamba Deve – Licoma axis examines how socio-assistance architecture can address the needs of marginalized communities in sub-Saharan Africa, focusing on building equitable, sustainable environments.

Part 2: Energy and Built Environment

• Sustainable Building Design for Tropical Climates: This section emphasizes the development of architectural designs and technologies suited for tropical climates, focusing on energy efficiency and environmental impact reduction.
• Development of an Interactive Building Energy Design Software: A project aiming to create software tools that help architects and builders design energy-efficient buildings, reducing energy consumption and increasing sustainability.
• SPARK – Solar Photovoltaic Adaptable Refrigeration Kit: This project explores innovative solar-powered refrigeration solutions, particularly for areas without reliable electricity, with applications in food preservation and healthcare.

Part 3: Recycling and Waste Management

• Ski Yurth: Upcycle of Downhill Skis for a Shelter in Cacine, Guinea-Bissau: This project focuses on the creative upcycling of used skis to construct shelters in Guinea-Bissau, demonstrating the potential for waste-to-resource initiatives in sustainable architecture.
• Comprehensive Feasibility Study for Sustainable Waste Management in Kajiado County, Kenya: This study evaluates the closure of an informal dumpsite in Kajiado County and the construction of an integrated, sustainable waste management facility to improve the local environment and health conditions.

Part 4: Environment and Emergency Solutions

• Borboleta and Papagaio: Emergency Unit and Children’s Nutritional Center in Farim, Guinea-Bissau: This project focuses on creating emergency facilities and nutritional support systems in Guinea-Bissau, addressing both immediate health crises and long-term community needs.
• Novel Textile-Based Solutions for Emergency Shelters: S(P)EEDKITS Project: The S(P)EEDKITS project examines the use of textile-based materials in creating innovative, adaptable emergency shelters, providing sustainable and efficient solutions for disaster-stricken areas.
• The Mo.N.G.U.E. Development and Experimentation Project in Mozambique: A project focusing on the development and testing of new emergency shelter technologies in Mozambique, particularly for communities affected by natural disasters.

Part 5: Past, Present, and Future: Digital Tools for Archaeology

• Low-Cost Digital Tools for Archaeology: This section explores the development and application of affordable digital tools in archaeological research, making technology more accessible for projects in resource-constrained environments.
• Digital Workflow to Support Archaeological Excavation: From 3D Survey to Websharing of Data: Focuses on the integration of 3D surveying techniques and web-sharing platforms to enhance the preservation and dissemination of archaeological data.
• Tools for Reading and Designing the ‘Islamic City’: Italian Urban Studies at the Crossroads: This project explores the use of digital tools to study and design the structure of Islamic cities, focusing on urban studies and architectural heritage through the lens of Italian scholarship.
