Cities in Sub-Saharan Africa are unequally confronted with social; economic and environmental challenges; particularly those related with population growth; urban sprawl; and informality. This complex and uneven African urban condition requires an open discussion of past and current urban planning practices and future reforms. Urban Planning in Sub-Saharan Africa gives a broad perspective of the history of urban planning in Sub-Saharan Africa and a critical view of issues; problems; challenges and opportunities confronting urban policy makers. The book examines the rich variety of planning cultures in Africa; offers a unique view on the introduction and development of urban planning in Sub-Saharan Africa; and makes a significant contribution against the tendency to over-generalize Africarsquo;s urban problems and Africarsquo;s urban planning practices. Urban Planning in Sub-Saharan Africa is written for postgraduate students and advanced undergraduates; researchers; planners and other policy makers in the multidisciplinary field of Urban Planning; in particular for those working in Spatial Planning; Architecture; Geography; and History.
