About this title
An 1899 expedition by the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine to research malaria prevention in Freetown, Sierra Leone. Among the expedition’s recommendations was to construct an exclusive enclave of “houses for Europeans” on a plateau above the city. This settlement – later known as Hill Station – was conceived as a spatial solution to disease, embedding health-based segregation into the urban fabric of colonial Freetown.
