Master Plans and Minor Acts examines the politics of repair in post-genocide Rwanda, where spatial master planning aims to redesign urban spaces and reconcile material and social divisions. Through extended ethnographic and qualitative research, the book questions how repair is realized amidst large-scale urban transformation and brings critical questions about the ethics of planning in complex geographies.

An examination of planning, place, and the politics of repair in post-genocide Rwanda reveals a “material politics of repair” in which spatial master planning aims to drastically redesign urban spaces in a country saturated with deep historical memory. How is the post-conflict city reconstituted through the work of such planning, and with what effects for material repair and social conciliation? This book explores these questions through extended ethnographic and qualitative research in Rwanda in the decades after the genocide of 1994, questioning how repair after conflict is realized amidst large-scale urban transformation. Bridging African studies, urban studies, and human geography in its scope, this work ties Rwanda's transformation to contexts of urban change in other post-conflict spaces, bringing to the fore critical questions about the ethics of planning in such complex geographies.
