In recent years, many and complex new problems that grew out of urbanization in Africa has made the global issues appear in an entirely new light. Thus they are creating a demand for interdisciplinary academic approach which would call for increased exchange of ideas and measures among scholars in various fields of study.
What type of integrated approach would serve to meet the rise of a whole new set of problems brought about by Africa’s urban development? This question will be addressed in the symposium. The speakers with differing points of view will examine the African issue in depth and join their efforts to find ways of coping successfully with this problem.
