Note to the reader from the UNU
The objective of the United Nations University
Programme on Mega-cities and Urban Development, initiated in 1990, is to examine
the social, economic, and environmental consequences of the development of large
metropolitan agglomerations, particularly in developing countries.
Following the release of Mega-city Growth and
the Future (Tokyo: UNU Press, 1994), Emerging World Cities in Pacific
Asia (Tokyo: UNU Press, 1996), and The Mega-city in Latin America
(Tokyo: UNU Press, 1996), this book provides new insights into emerging
mega-cities and urban development trends in Africa.
