许多非洲国家政府已经接受了集中的空间规划和大规模连接基础设施的建设，作为协同工业化和功能性城市发展的一种手段。本文探讨了加纳和肯尼亚的经济和城市发展目标之间的紧张关系。在这两种情况下，以结构为主导的发展都助长了无计划的城市化，并为真实的房地产投资开辟了新的领域。然而，有证据表明，它未能促进结构转型进程。这一论点推进了关于供应链和食利资本主义之间紧张关系的辩论，并质疑了基础设施主导的发展和工业化之间的关系。
Many African governments have embraced centralised spatial planning and the construction of large-scale connective infrastructure as a means to synergise industrialisation and functional urban development. This article examines the tensions between these economic and urban development objectives in Ghana and Kenya. Infrastructure-led development in both cases has fuelled extended and unplanned urbanisation and the production of new frontiers for real estate investment. However, the evidence indicates that it has failed to contribute to processes of structural transformation. This argument advances debates about the tensions between supply chain and rentier capitalism and problematises the assumed relationship between infrastructure-led development and industrialisation.
