A review of Jensen’s Kakuma Refugee Camp: Humanitarian Urbanism in Kenya’s Accidental City
Abstract
In the last few years, the world has witnessed a surge in refugees escaping from violence in one form or another, leading world leaders to adopt a new framework for addressing the crisis. The central idea of this framework is to support hosting countries in integrating refugees into their development plans, moving away from camplike interventions to an approach that enhances mobility and freedom for refugees. Despite being hosted in camps, displaced populations have found ways of interacting with their humanitarian space through developing socioeconomic relationships amongst themselves and with their host communities, thereby contributing actively to the development of the local economy.
