This book explores some of the key challenges confronting the
governance of cities in Africa, the reforms implemented in the
field of urban governance, and the innovative approaches in
critical areas of local governance, namely in the broad field of
decentralization and urban planning reform, citizen participation,
and good governance. The collection also investigates the
constraints that continuously hamper urban governments as well as
the ability to improve urban governance in African cities through
citizen responsive innovations. Decentralization based on the
principle of subsidiarity emerges as a critical necessary reform if
African cities are to be appropriately empowered to face the
challenges created by the unprecedented urban growth rate
experienced all over the continent. This requires, among other
initiatives, the implementation of an effective local
self-government system, the reform of planning laws, including the
adoption of new planning models, the development of citizen
participation in local affairs, and new approaches to urban
informality. The book will be of interest to students, researchers
and policy makers in urban studies, and in particular for those
interested in urban planning in Africa.
