Abstract

The course of East and Southern African urbanization over the 20th century was not aligned with industrial development. Nor was it associated with rising average incomes or steady improvements in agricultural productivity as was the case in the early urbanization of Britain and the Netherlands (Wrigley 1987). One may well ask whether we are witnessing a new form of the urbanization process fuelled by as yet undefined forces. Comparison of the urbanization trends between countries in East and Southern Africa yields some useful clues (Figure 14.1).
