Why Urbanisation?
Development: Associated with urbanization.
NOTE: ALL rich countries are urban countries.
No country has ever reached high income levels with low urbanization.
Urban Centres: Allow for innovation and goods produced in larger quantity and more cheaply.

Effects of Unplanned Urbanisation
NONETHELESS! Municipalities/urban councils: failed to keep pace with rapid urban population growth.
THUS! Pressure on existing resources (infrastructure and
services).
Increase in informal settlements (i.e. Urban slums).
Urban poor: 43.1% ( 27,834 persons)
