Description
Africa's Urban Revolution explores the rapid urbanisation of the continent, highlighting the challenges and opportunities associated with this major wave of urban growth. By 2030, African cities will have grown by over 350 million people, with more than half the population expected to be urban. The book provides a comprehensive insight into the key issues surrounding African urbanisation, including demographic, cultural, political, technical, environmental, and economic factors. Drawing on expertise from scholars and practitioners associated with the African Centre for Cities, it offers a nuanced analysis of this critical issue. African Urban Revolution is an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of urbanisation in Africa and its implications for policy makers, scholars, and the general public.
