Urbanization and Social Change in West Africa - Urbanisation in Developing Countries
Gugler, Josef (University of Connecticut)
Originally published in 1978, this is an interdisciplinary study of rapid urban growth in West Africa. Gugler and Flanagan explore first the history of the cities of the early West Africa empires then examine the implications of widespread urban unemployment and underemployment, the housing crisis and the emergence of metropolitan areas such as Lagos after World War II.
