Unleashing the Economic Potential of Agglomeration in African Cities

By on January 01, 2013

This paper is part of the Global Urban Economic Dialogue Series of UN-Habitat. UN-Habitat describes the paper as follows: "Rapid urbanisation in Africa threatens disaster if it just multiplies the problems of overcrowding, squalor, destitution and degradation. However, it could become a transformative force for higher productivity, entrepreneurial dynamism and rising prosperity. The report discusses the new mood of optimism about Africa's economic prospects and highlights the need to align economic growth and urbanisation agendas."
