Contemporary Issues in Local Government Administration in Africa.

      Аннотация: The idea of a book on Contemporary Issues in Local Government Administration in Africa and its implications for physical planning in Africa was predicated on the realization of the fact that the democratisation and political structure in Africa over the years have been undergoing progressive changes, albeit, very slowly but largely undocumented. These observed changes are expected to define a new agenda for intergovernmental relationship and physical planning in Africa. The book is driven by critical thinking and insightful research highlighting and explaining contemporary issues that require present and future attention in local government administration in Africa. The book will be of immense value to academics, administrators, urban managers and all categories of people in their quest for self-development. It will also serve as a channel to extend the horizon of the literature on local government administration and reforms in Africa.
