  • Description: Africa is experiencing a continent-wide phenomenon. African cities are struggling to cope with an unprecedented influx of people. Most come from the countryside, but some are refugees from fighting. Until the countryside offers a decent living, the lure of the city will remain, however awful the shanty-towns. And regardless of their dreams of gentrification, African cities need to make room in their centres for cheap housing for the poor. Otherwise, the shacks won't go away.
