The major problem in Africa today understands the modern concept of town planning. Just as was true in Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries, in Africa today physical planning is regarded as a technique for the amelioration of the evils of urban development. Insanitary conditions, congestions, un-economic layout of streets, the inefficient use of public utilities or the absence of adequate sanitary facilities "brought about the enactment of public health laws, plumbing and building codes and regulations which controlled land-use.
The African Land Policy Centre (ALPC) has put in place a number of mechanisms for land policy development and implementation including establishing or reinforcing existing platforms, generating knowledge and developing capacity. One of centre’s objectives is to contribute to knowledge generation, dissemination and management in order to enhance the evidence base for land policy development and implementation. This objective is being achieved through research, publications, and knowledge sharing and learning forums.
The objective of this project is to obtain quantitative means to ascertain the economic magnitude of the future development effort which will be needed in order to accommodate the growth of African towns and cities as measured against Qualitative indices expressed in terms of levels of physical development.
