非洲大部分地区快速城市化的挑战超出了当地政府的管理能力。本文探讨了国家城市政策以补充地方战略的论点，反映了中央国家的独特权力和城市的特殊情况。在适当的支持下，城市化可以成为经济和人类发展的更加积极的力量。南非最近的经验说明了就规划和管理城市增长和改造达成系统办法的一些困难和可能性。政策进程中的主要利益攸关方把城市贫困作为一项紧迫的优先事项，并扩大了传统的经济论点，即各国以城市为目标，制定长期的环境和经济发展议程。
The challenges of rapid urbanisation in large parts of Africa are beyond the capacity of local government to manage. The paper explores the arguments for a national urban policy to complement local strategies, reflecting the unique power of the central state and the special circumstances of cities. With appropriate support, urbanisation could become a more positive force for economic and human development. Recent experience in South Africa illustrates some of the difficulties and possibilities for agreeing a systematic approach to planning and managing urban growth and transformation. Key stakeholders in the policy process have focused on urban poverty as an immediate priority and broadened the traditional economic argument for nations targeting cities to spell out a long-term environmental and economic development agenda.
