Emergence in the African urban context provides unique opportunities to study novel ways of designing within a transdisciplinary set up, yet little has been written in this regard. In this paper, I reflect on how I have engaged in transdisciplinary research as a designer in Africa's urban contexts over the recent years. These reflections offer African perspectives that are enriched by ongoing global conversations around complex urban challenges. Going forward, design research in Africa's emerging urban contexts is well placed to contribute substantially to global discussions on transdisciplinarity.

跨学科研究中的嵌入设计：来自非洲城市的视角

非洲城市环境的出现为研究跨学科设计的新颖设计方式提供了独特的机会，但在这方面却鲜有报道。在这篇论文中，我反思了近年来我作为一名设计师如何在非洲城市环境中从事跨学科研究。这些反思提供了非洲视角，而围绕复杂城市挑战的持续全球对话丰富了这些视角。展望未来，非洲新兴城市环境中的设计研究可以很好地为跨学科的全球讨论做出重大贡献。
