Kwame Adinkra earns a PhD from KNUST
Seasonal broadcaster Adinkrah's doctoral thesis, titled “Visual Pollution and Urban Livability in Kumasi: A Visual Communication Design Perspective on Billboard Proliferation and Sustainable Development,” represented a significant contribution to the field.
He conducted a profound inquiry into the burgeoning issue of billboard proliferation in the Kumasi Metropolis, exploring its implications on urban livability and community well-being.
His research delved deeply into how excessive outdoor advertising can disrupt spatial order, detract from the aesthetic quality of public spaces, and ultimately influence the mental and emotional health of urban residents.
Through a comprehensive methodology that included advanced coursework, empirical field investigations, and an extensive review of existing literature, Adinkrah's work contextualises the local phenomenon within the framework of global sustainable development goals, particularly focusing on Sustainable Development Goal 11 (SDG 11), which aimed to make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable.
After an intense four-year program that challenged him to push the boundaries of his knowledge and creativity, Adinkrah successfully defended his thesis before a rigorous panel of academic examiners known for their expertise in the field.
His research was celebrated for meeting the university’s stringent scholarly standards regarding originality, methodological robustness, and its significant contribution to academic knowledge and practical implications for urban planning.
As a result of this scholarly achievement, Adinkrah was formally conferred the title of Doctor of Philosophy, marking a proud milestone not only in his career but also in the broader discourse surrounding urban development and visual communication.
