Abstract
The incidence of disconnect between the modern and local economy in the development of urban regions has sustained urban productivity decline in Africa since mid-twentieth century. The resilience of the status quo, regardless of neo-liberal planning intervention, necessitates the search for an alternative planning approach. This paper considers the neo-mercantile planning option, which seeks to restructure the space economy through spatial integration. The paper shares how neo-mercantile planning protocol bears on development planning to rework the space economy of Enugu urban region in Enugu State, Nigeria as a way forward for planning in Africa.
