Urban
Transition in Sub-Saharan Africa: Implication for
Economic Growth and Poverty Reduction |
|
|
 The
Cities Alliance is pleased to present the Urban Transition in
Sub-Saharan Africa: Implication for Economic Growth and Poverty
Reduction by Christine Kessides.
The book outline of the challenges that rapid urbanization
specifically in sub-Saharan Africa constitutes and some of the
ways in which these can be met. In the space of only six
chapters, Christine Kessides examines the context in which this
rapid urbanization is taking place; (i) how the emerging cities
and towns can be made to contribute positively to the
development of the continent, especially to reducing the
pervasive poverty among the majority or urban residents; (ii)
what requirements need to be met to make this happen; (iii) what
is at stake or what are the opportunity costs to African
countries if these requirements are not met; and (iv) what are
the strategic and operational choices and priorities that would
enable most African countries to gain the best in the process of
its transition to a largely urbanized society.
