Description

This comprehensive study examines urbanization as a critical driver of Africa's economic transformation and development. The book explores how planned urbanisation can improve living standards, expand the middle class, and enable sustainable economic growth across the continent. It addresses the pressing challenges facing African cities, including uncontrolled urban sprawl, deteriorating public services, slum expansion, and persistent poverty. The analysis reveals how informal sector activities dominate many African urban economies, creating barriers to productivity and formal employment. By combining rigorous economic analysis with practical policy insights, this Routledge publication provides essential perspectives on managing urbanisation strategically to unlock Africa's development potential and create inclusive urban environments.

Examines the informal sector's role in African urban economies and its impact on productivity and employment opportunities.
