Nakileza, François Bart, Bernard Charlery de la MasselièreNairobi Africae20201 online resource (xxxvi-352 p.) Africae Studies9987-753-98-1 This edited volume brings to light how much the development of the mountains of East Africa relates to their surrounding fast-growing towns and cities. The contributors, most of them geographers from both East Africa and France, explore three cases: Mount Kenya (Kenya), Mount Elgon (on its Ugandan side), and the Uporoto Mountains (Tanzania). They adopt a comparative perspective with earlier research and other East African mountains, such as Mount Kilimanjaro. The 12 chapters focus on one major recent upheaval: the growing urbanization that shapes new mountain systems. This phenomenon gives rise to the following questions: What are the links between rural and urban changes in such contexts? What are their impacts on livelihoods and development? This book, covering social and environmental issues relating to rural-urban exchanges and transformations, is the first of its kind for African mountains.UrbanizationAfrica, EastRural developmentAfrica, EastRural-urban relationsAfrica, EastAfrica, EastRural conditionsurbanizationcitiesurban dynamicsland useUrbanizationRural developmentRural-urban relations307.7609676Baron Catherine1289545Bart François307007Bonnassieux Alain659234Charlery de la Masselière Bernard1284544Edaku Charles1313884Edouard Jean-Charles1313885Greenwood Greg1313886Guillermou Yves274464Kihonge Ephantus1313887Mainet Guy1313888Mainet Hélène1313889Mbataru Patrick1313890Mbonile Milline Jethro1313891Mukwaya Paul1313892Murithi Joseph Kariuki1313893Nakileza Bob R1313883Nantumbwe Clare M1313894Racaud Sylvain1296568Tenywa Moses M1313895Racaud Sylvain1296568Nakileza Bob R1313883Bart François307007Charlery de la Masselière Bernard1249536Institut français de recherche en Afrique.FR-FrMaCLEBOOK9910495990503321Rural-Urban Dynamics in the East African Mountains3031488UNINA
