Civil engineer Mike Schlaich ... has embarked on a journey across Africa - following the legendary Cape to Cairo route. His goal: to experience the continent's roads, railways and bridges in the truest sense of the word - and to get to know the civil engineering culture during visits to local universities. In this book, he describes his experiences in diary form and allows the reader to participate directly - also thanks to many photographs. His account is supplemented by contributions from African colleagues. Schlaich's observations culminate in seven reflections on the present and future of civil engineering in Africa. These comprehensively researched texts, supported by impressively prepared data, are intended to encourage a closer examination of a continent that will become increasingly important in the coming years due to its population growth alone. -- Translation of publisher's description (viewed March 17, 2025)
