Report on the state of urbanization in Africa: integrating urbanization in national development planning for inclusive and sustainable development: aide memoire
Urbanization is multidimensional in nature, as it affects the social, economic, political, cultural and environmental aspects of development in a cross-cutting way. The rapid urban transition unfolding in Africa presents both opportunities and challenges. Evidence around the world suggests that linking economic and urban development generates positive interactions and spillovers that improve productivity and well-being. The main aim of the report is to strengthen member States’ knowledge and capacities in integrating urbanization into national development planning frameworks and processes to promote inclusive and sustainable cities for Africa’s structural transformation.
