As the global populace continues to boom, especially in developing
countries, it has become essential to find ways to effectively
handle this population increase through various urbanization
methods. However, these techniques have posed potential issues, as
well as opportunities for improvement. Population Growth and Rapid
Urbanization in the Developing World emphasizes the trends,
challenges, issues, and strategies developing countries evaluate
when facing a population upsurge and expeditious development of
urban environments. Exploring the use of different governance
techniques, trending patterns in urbanization and population
growth, as well as tools and the appropriate allocation of
resources used to address these issues, this book is a
comprehensive reference for academicians, researchers, students,
practitioners, professionals, managers, urban planners,
technicians, and government officials.
Traditional cities are increasingly caught up in a process of rapid
change that is characteristic of our globalizing world. Change is
doing away with valued traditions embedded in built fabrics and in
social and cultural practices. The specter of the loss of heritage
in the traditional cities along with embedded sustainability
lessons makes it necessary for us to exert effort to study and
understand them. This is particularly necessary for cities in the
African Continent where weak institutional structures of governance
have contributed to limited interest in heritage preservation. This
study examined one of these cities, Zaria, using a cross
disciplinary approach with views from different perspectives,
including physical, social, historical, cultural and symbolic. The
cross disciplinary approach of the study makes the book a good
target for historians, social geographers, scholars and
practitioners of African studies, ethnographers, urban designers,
heritage conservationist and architects. The book is also
recommended for people with general interest in traditional
societies.
