Abstract

African cities are growing, becoming increasingly important both politically and economically. But what lessons do they need to learn in order to achieve their potential? John Rennie Short investigates. Africa is the world’s most rapidly urbanising region. By 2050 more than one billion people will live in cities across the continent.
