Abstract

Old wine in new bottles? An overview of Africa's urban problems and the "urban management" approach to dealing with them considers the conventional "urban management' approach which is promoted as the solution to Africa's urban problems. Drawing from a research programme which brought together teams from many different African cities, it describes the failings of current urban management in the region and suggests some principles to guide future action including more adaptive and less sectoral urban management, and more decentralized decision making.
