Received Concepts and Theories in African Urbanisation and Management Strategies: The Struggle Continues

Abstract

Various concepts, theories and attitudes in defining and solving African urban problems reflect assimilated and acquired notions and standards rather than indigenous ones. Over the past two decades or so, commentators and policy-makers have been enjoined to change their approach, but there are still many who have yet to adopt new attitudes. It is argued in this paper that concepts related to urban sanitation, water supply, urban agriculture, urban transport and aspects of housing supply need to be redefined to reflect local circumstances.
