Abstract
This paper finds that the local state, and in particular major African cities, have a critical ecosystem role in advancing inclusive economic development and mitigating inequality.
It reaches this conclusion by investigating:
• What potential exists for African cities to design and implement inclusive local economic development approaches; and
• How local actors (local government/municipal, civic, commercial and knowledge actors) can play an active role in positively influencing production and socio-economic equality, including through their leveraging of new technologies.
