Effectiveness of Planning Law in Sub-Saharan Africa - Urban Legal Case Studies, Volume 8
UN-Habitat has conducted an objective, evidencebased assessment on the application of physical planning laws in 18 cities of the Sub-Saharan Africa Region. The selection of cities is based on the UN Global Sample of 200 cities as a statistically and regionally representative dataset. This publication portrays the findings from the study with empirical data on growth boundaries, population density, compliance with spatial planning and zoning, land management and staffing capacity. City managers in Sub-Saharan Africa can use this information to rethink the sustainability of their urbanization model and to help them create systems that can result in equity, shared prosperity and environmental sustainability. These are key principles embodied under the New Urban Agenda and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – particularly Goal 11.
