Because of Africa's fast urbanisation, there is a big housing problem that needs creative solutions that go beyond traditional building methods. This study looks at how modular and prefabricated building methods, along with AI automation and renewable energy technologies, might affect the growth of affordable homes across the continent. This research looks at how advanced manufacturing methods, strategic change management, and design thought might help Africa build more homes. It looks at this through the eyes of management, engineering, materials science, industrial design, and new textile technologies. When textile and fashion design ideas are mixed, they lead to new ways of making housing elements that can be used by people from different countries. Simultaneously, advancements in materials engineering enable the development of solutions that can adjust to various climates. This comprehensive study demonstrates that the creation of scalable, sustainable housing ecosystems that enhance local economies and elevate the quality of life for millions of Africans necessitates the integration of technology, policy, and community involvement.
