It proposes a new approach that rethinks neo-liberalism as the meta-theory of planning in Africa, and pioneers an original school of thought that presents a general theory of planning for Africa in the twenty-first century. Research to substantiate the new theory was conducted over the period November 2010 to May 2015 and is presented here in four sections with more than 500 references. The book offers comprehensive coverage, from the theoretical foundations and framework, through application and empirical research, to analysis, conclusions and recommendations.The Urban Book Series,2365-757XRegional planningUrban planningCulture—Study and teachingUrban economicsSustainable developmentLandscape/Regional and Urban Planninghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15000Regional and Cultural Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411000Urban Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W49010Sustainable Developmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000Regional planning.Urban planning.Culture—Study and teaching.Urban economics.Sustainable development.Landscape/Regional and Urban Planning.Regional and Cultural Studies.Urban Economics.Sustainable Development.307.1216096Okeke Donaldauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1062787MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254125403321Integrated Productivity in Urban Africa2528563UNINA
