Description

Africa is entering a new urban age, moving from a largely rural continent to one defined by rapid urban growth. This book examines the changing dynamics and complex challenges that come with having the world's fastest growing urban population. As cities expand, those responsible for management often face limited budgets and rising demands for essential services. This text provides necessary empirical evidence regarding the nature of infrastructure demands, escalating environmental hazards, and the expansion of informal settlements. By drawing on the work of the African Urban Research Initiative, the book offers a deep look at how knowledge co-production from the South can address these shifts. It serves as a vital resource for understanding how African cities transform and how they can be managed effectively amidst rapid demographic changes.
