Description

The most spectacular change in Sub-Saharan Africa over the last few decades has been the dramatic demographic shift from rural areas to cities. As a result, more than 50 percent of the city streets in the region have no names or addresses, and the problem is particularly acute in the poorest neighborhoods.
 

Addresses catalyze urban management in Africa.

If you're intrigued by urban development or have a keen interest in the logistical challenges faced by cities in rapid transition, particularly in African contexts, then "Street Addressing and the Management of Cities" could be a valuable read. It not only provides a comprehensive analysis of a fundamental issue but also offers practical solutions, which could be enlightening for professionals in urban planning, development studies, or someone interested in sustainable city management.
