Book Description
Côte d’Ivoire seeks a development strategy to reach middle-income status—a challenge that would require annual growth rates averaging 10 percent over the next 13 years. Global experience of both developed and emerging economies shows that GDP per capita rises with increased urbanization. However, Côte d’Ivoire’s economy is underperforming relative to its level of urbanization. The country’s urbanization has been negatively correlated with income per capita since the late 1970s, and poverty has been increasing. Rather than consider development of cities individually, successful urbanization plans in Côte d’Ivoire should consider the country’s cities as a portfolio of assets, each differentiated by characteristics that include size, location, and density of settlements. The authors of Diversified Urbanization: The Case of Côte d’Ivoire identify three types of cities on the basis of their contribution to growth and job creation: Global Connectors, Regional Connectors along major corridors for regional transport and trade, and Domestic Connectors of localization economies for agribusiness. Stakeholders from the national government, local governments, and the private sector have a shared vision for urbanization in the country—cities that are planned, structured, competitive, attractive, inclusive, and organized around development poles. To achieve this vision and the goal of middle-income status, Ivorian policy makers need to act urgently to support diversified urbanization across all city types. This book identifies important constraints and opportunities along four dimensions: planning, connecting, greening, and financing cities.

Book Description
La Côte d’Ivoire est en quête d’une stratégie de développement qui lui permettra d’atteindre le statut de pays à revenu intermédiaire, ce qui représente un défi qui nécessiterait un taux de croissance annuel de 10 % pendant plus de 13 ans. L’expérience des économies développées et émergentes démontre que le produit intérieur brut (PIB) par habitant augmente avec la progression de l’urbanisation. Néanmoins, l’économie de la Côte d’Ivoire affiche des performances insuffisantes sur le plan de l’urbanisation. L’urbanisation et le revenu par habitant ont une corrélation négative depuis la fin des années 1970, et la pauvreté augmente. Au lieu d’envisager le développement des villes individuellement, un plan d’urbanisation réussie devrait considérer les villes de la Côte d’Ivoire comme un portefeuille d’actifs qui se distinguent les uns des autres par leur taille, leur emplacement et la densité de leur population. Les auteurs de L’Urbanisation diversifiée : Le cas de la Côte d’Ivoire identifient trois types de villes, fondées sur leurs contributions à la croissance et à la création d’emplois : les connecteurs globaux ; les connecteurs régionaux, situées le long des corridors d’échanges et des transports régionaux ; et les connecteurs locaux, qui génèrent les économies de localisation nécessaires à l’agro-industrie. Les parties prenantes des administrations nationales et infranationales et du secteur privé ont formulé une vision commune de l’urbanisation en Côte d’Ivoire : « villes planifiées, structurées, compétitives, attractives, inclusives et organisées autour de pôles de développement ». Afin de réaliser cette vision et d’atteindre le statut de pays à revenu intermédiaire, les décideurs politique ivoiriens doivent agir de toute urgence pour promouvoir une urbanisation diversifiée pour tous les types de villes. Cette présente étude identifie des contraintes principales et des enjeux dans quatre domaines : la planification, les connexions, l’écologisation, et le financement des villes.

Book Description
The report presents findings from the 2018 revision of World Urbanization Prospects, which contains the latest estimates of the urban and rural populations or areas from 1950 to 2018 and projections to 2050, as well as estimates of population size from 1950 to 2018 and projections to 2030 for all urban agglomerations with 300,000 inhabitants or more in 2018. The world urban population is at an all-time high, and the share of urban dwellers, is projected to represent two thirds of the global population in 2050. Continued urbanization will bring new opportunities and challenges for sustainable development.

Book Description
The monoculture systems that have been encouraged by governments since the 1960s have led to major socio-economic and environmental crises. Now the diversification of tree crop systems is advancing throughout the tropics. Why and when does diversification take place? What categories of farmers diversify? What obstacles do they have to overcome, and how do public and private policies interfere in this process? How do land use systems and landscapes evolve as a result of this diversification? According to the authors of this volume, diversification is certainly a response to market risks, but also to the depletion of environmental resources. Ecological changes such as declining soil fertility and increasing pressure from pests, diseases and weeds intensify at the end of monoculture cycles, driving crop change and diversification of farming systems. Through 15 case studies from Africa, Latin America, Asia and the Pacific, the authors provide us with in-depth insights into the economy and ecology of family agriculture and its recent developments.

Book Description
This open access book discusses booming housing markets in cities around the globe, and the resulting challenges for policymakers and central banks. Cities are booming everywhere, leading to a growing demand for urban housing. In many cities this demand is out-pacing supply, which causes house prices to soar and increases the pressure on rental markets. These developments are posing major challenges for policymakers, central banks and other authorities responsible for ensuring financial stability, and economic well-being in general.This volume collects views from high-level policymakers and researchers, providing essential insights into these challenges, their impact on society, the economy and financial stability, and possible policy responses. The respective chapters address issues such as the popularity of cities, the question of a credit-fueled housing bubble, the role of housing supply frictions and potential policy solutions. Given its scope, the book offers a revealing read and valuable guide for everyone involved in practical policymaking for housing markets, mortgage credit and financial stability.

Book Description
Avec une population urbaine estimée à 43% en 2016, la proportion de la population urbaine de la République démocratique du Congo est la troisième plus importante en Afrique subsaharienne, après celle de l’Afrique du Sud et du Nigéria. Avec un taux d’urbanisation de 4.1% par an, les villes congolaises accueillent ainsi, chaque année, 1 million de citadins supplémentaires. Si cette tendance se poursuit, la population urbaine pourrait doubler en l’espace de 15 ans seulement. De plus, avec ses 12 millions d’habitants et un taux de croissance de 5.1% par an, Kinshasa pourrait devenir d’ici 2030 la ville la plus peuplée d’Afrique. Cette forte croissance urbaine s’accompagne de deux défis majeurs : d’une part, celui de rendre les villes habitables et inclusives en répondant à la forte demande de services sociaux et d’infrastructures, d’éducation, de santé et d’autres services de base et à l’importante pauvreté urbaine, et d’autre part, celui de rendre les villes plus productives grâce à une meilleure concentration de l’activité économique. La Revue de l’Urbanisation de la République démocratique du Congo montre que le pays s’urbanise à des rythmes différents, et identifie 5 régions (Est, Sud, Centre, Ouest et Bassin du Congo) qui présente des défis et des opportunités qui leur sont spéficiques. La Revue propose des mesures de politiques publiques sous trois ensembles d’instruments †“ les « 3 Is » (Institutions, Infrastructures et Interventions) pour aider chaque région à répondre à ses besoins spécifiques tout en tirant parti des effets d’agglomération économique. Ainsi, il est proposé pour les régions à urbanisation naissante (région de l’est) d’investir dans les Institutions courantes qui régulent les marchés (foncier par exemple), et fournissent les services de base. A mesure que l’on progresse vers un stage d’urbanisation intermédiaire (régions du sud et du centre) et que les marchés se consolident, les Infrastructures de liaison extra-urbaines et intra-urbaines deviennent essentielles. Les infrastructures de transport qui relient les villes et l’arrière-pays rural peuvent intégrer les marchés de produits, accroître le commerce inter-régional et faciliter la spécialisation économique. Dans les régions à urbanisation avancée (région de l’ouest), les priorités consistent à consolider les institutions, accroître les investissements en infrastructures de liaison et renforcer les Interventions ciblées ainsi que les actions à mener pour réduire la formation des quartiers précaires à Kinshasa, par exemple. La République démocratique du Congo est à la croisée des chemins. La récente baisse des prix des matières premières pourrait être l’occasion pour le pays de diversifier son économie et d’investir dans le secteur manufacturier. Le moment est indiqué pour que les décideurs congolais investissent dans des villes capables d’être le moteur de la transformation structurelle du pays et d’une meilleure intégration avec les marchés africains et mondiaux afin de conduire le pays sur la voie de l’émergence.

Book Description
The urban built environment is a prime setting for microbial transmission, because just as cities serve as hubs for migration and international travel, components of the urban built environment serve as hubs that drive the transmission of infectious disease pathogens. The risk of infectious diseases for many people living in slums is further compounded by their poverty and their surrounding physical and social environment, which is often overcrowded, is prone to physical hazards, and lacks adequate or secure housing and basic infrastructure, including water, sanitation, or hygiene services. To examine the role of the urban built environment in the emergence and reemergence of infectious diseases that affect human health, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine planned a public workshop. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.

Book Description
This book examines the relationship between migration, diversification and inequality in Aotearoa/New Zealand. The authors advance a view of migration as a diversifying force, arguing that it is necessary to grapple with the intersection of group identities, state policy and economic opportunities as part of the formation of inequalities that have deep historical legacies and substantial future implications. Exploring evidence for inequality amongst migrant populations, the book also addresses the role of multicultural politics and migration policy in entrenching inequalities, and the consequences of migrant inequalities for political participation, youth development and urban life.
