Abstract
Cities lie at the heart of countries prosperity, says urban economist Justin Visagie of the HSRC. "Understanding how cities can become more productive and inclusive places is one of the really big questions. Africa's economic development hinges on taking advantage of the opportunities inherent in urbanisation."-
