Full Description
Urban planning practice in Sub-Saharan Africa increasingly encounters complexities due to the confluence of urbanisation, climate change, and their interconnected drivers and consequences. The potential effect of these complexities on achieving the sustainable development goals is significant. This book explores the unique challenges faced by rapidly growing cities in Sub-Saharan Africa, including urban crime, informality, land governance, development control, and the degradation of green spaces, as well as how these issues are addressed in planning education and emerging innovations. The book presents various case studies from selected African countries, emphasising contemporary urban challenges and innovative strategies, including implementing artificial intelligence, which is being adopted to tackle these issues. Chapters analyse the significance of reflective planning, hybrid governance, international development, and technological advancements in influencing the future trajectory of urban development planning.
By providing a comprehensive overview of these issues, this book serves as a crucial resource for urban planners, policymakers, scholars, and students dedicated to the sustainable development of cities in Sub-Saharan Africa.
