Brings together research from different sectors that offers a significant contribution to knowledge on Freetown, Sierra Leone, and demonstrates the potential of transdisciplinary work. With a population of over one million, Freetown, Sierra Leone faces serious challenges with service provisions, housing, infrastructure, employment, and climate change. In 2015, the Sierra Leone Urban Research Centre (SLURC) was established to address these challenges through research, capacity building, and advocacy. Urban Transformations in Sierra Leone shares SLURC's progress, articulating its key findings and reflections on the partnerships it helped enable.
