A framework for addressing urban challenges in Africa

The State of the African Cities Report 2008: A Framework for Addressing Urban Challenges in Africa is envisaged by UN HABITAT and its partners to provide an overview of issues related to the urban transition now taking place throughout Africa. It is intended both as a start in benchmarking city level data and for sensitizing African governments at al llevels about the challenges of rapid urbanization. This report complements with a regional focus the State of the World’s Cities report series, issued by UN-HABITAT on a biannual basis since 2001.
