The urgent needs of economic development and of specific
development projects throughout Africa have marked effects on the
mobility, distribution and demography of local populations. In this
wide-ranging volume, professional geographers and others examine
the problems of relating development goals to their potential
impact on populations and population change. Attention is paid to
developments in Mozambique, Zambia, South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria,
Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, and particularly to the Republic of the
Sudan, where there is concern for the balance between urgent needs
for the economic development of the Nile's waters, and the effects
on patterns of human settlement. This book, brought together for
the Commission on Population Geography of the International
Geographical Union, will be of value to all concerned with the
economic, social and political development of Africa.
