Previous owner's name inside front, only very light wear otherwise. "Many African countries are experiencing severe problems with the use of inappropriate urban management approaches in the face of the crisis conditions faced by rapid growth. In Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Nigeria, Zaire, Tanzania, Kenya, and the Sudan, the optimism of the early years of independence has been dampened by the proliferation of unplanned shanty towns and squatter areas, the marked deterioration in health facilities and public transportation, and rising unemployment. Based on recent original fieldwork down by teams of African researchers, this book assesses the problems of managing rapid urban growth in countries representing diverse African settings, taking into account language, colonial and planning traditions, climate, and resources.".
