Urban Slums

About the Issue

Urban populations in Africa are growing rapidly due to both natural growth and rural to urban migration. Most of this growth is leading to the mass growth of informal urban settlements. Many people go to towns and cities in search of better lives, hoping to find good jobs and overcome the poverty they face. Instead, they end up living in slums that lack even the most basic of services.
