This paper explores urban food security within the context of development cooperation between China and sub-Saharan African countries. Recently, development cooperation between China and African countries has grown in different dimensions. Within Sino-African relations framework, little efforts have been made to share development knowledge on urban food security in the context of rapid urbanization. Chinese and African cities share two commonalties: the increasing trend of urbanization and the continuous existence of subsistent agriculture, particularly in the rural areas. Chinese cities have managed to create a sustainable system of urban food security for their teeming population. This study focuses on urban food planning in key Chinese cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. Food situations in these cities will be compared with what obtains in African cities such as Lagos, Accra and Lilongwe. This study argues for a complementary two-way learning process between African cities and their counterparts in China on urban food policy and citizens-driven urban food planning. Chinese and African cities can share some policy lessons on food policy and governance. What policy lessons can African cities learn from China on the implementation of effective urban food policy? Descriptive methods are used to critically analyze the urban food situation in these regions. This includes the use of primary data on food security situation in urban areas. Besides, secondary data and a desk review of existing published and grey literature are used. National and regional dynamics of food production, distribution and consumption would be triangulated for a comprehensive assessment. ]]>
