    A Billion Squatters, A New Urban World

    de Robert Neuwirth ...

    de Doctor Edgar Pieterse, Susan Parnell ...
    The facts of Africa's rapid urbanisation are startling. By 2030 African cities will have grown by more than 350 million people and over half the continent's population will be urban.

This lack of awareness and robust analysis means it is difficult to make a policy case for a ... Leer más
