The Settlement of Central and Eastern Africa: Inherited Logics and Contemporary Urban Development

Our initial objective is to evaluate the state of urbanisation in Central and Eastern Africa and its evolution since the 1960s, by geographically locating the multiplication of the number of agglomerations of more than 10,000 inhabitants and their population growth. Surprisingly, the data produced l...
