  abstract = {{T}here is broad consensus about the fact that many negative consequences of mine closure can only be avoided by differently planning and constructing mining towns from the start. {T}his involves the establishment of closure funds, the stimulation of diversification as well as infrastructural considerations. {H}owever, these challenges are presented as technical problems that can only be solved with the intervention of experts without considering already-existing propositions and practices of the population itself, and without referring to the global politico-economic context. {W}e propose to bridge this gap by comparing mine closures in {F}ria in {G}uinea and {O}buasi in {G}hana, two large and comparatively old mining towns, from the point of view of discussions about the 'right to the city'.},
