Land policies for urban and national development in Nigeria
A land policy is essential in Nigeria where over 70 per cent of the labour force work is agriculture, and where there is rapid urban growth transforming land to industrial and other urban uses. (EMS).
Public policy and the dynamics of urban settlement system in Nigeria
The high growth rate of urban population has brought many problems. To solve these, the authors suggest that at both macro-and micro-level governement policy should be combined with public participation. (EMS).

structure in an urban area in Tropical Africa in historical perspective. In this case the historical periods are not the result of rather arbitrary phasing of the period under consideration but they are clearly coupled with the expansion of the capitalist
system over Tropical Africa and the historical changes in the nature and functioning of this system. The impact of these changes on the production structure of urban areas, in this case the fort-factory town Cape Coast in Ghana, and the effects on income
The factorial ecology approach to urban analysis has recently been subject to widespread criticism. These criticisms have focussed both on the conceptual foundation of factorial ecology and on the application of factorial techniques to problems
of spatial socio-economic differentiation. It is shown that many of the problems inherent in the technique are compounded in the South African urban context. (L'A.).
Veranderende ruimtelike patrone van Swart stedelike woongebiede en tuislanddorpe in Suid-Afrika: 1904-1975. (Changing spatial patterns of Black urban suburbs and homeland towns in South Africa: 1904-1975)
The dispersion of Black urban suburbs and homeland towns in South Africa for the period 1904 to 1975 is described by means of nearest neighbour analysis. These descriptions indicate a tendency towards a regular pattern for 1904 but with a continuous
The BASS (Bay Area Simulation Study) model derived from the Lowry model is used to study the effects of major industry on the population of a medium size urban centre.
The polarized spatial structure accelerates growth in the urban areas and depens poverty in the rural periphery. The creation of new states with their local government headquarters could promote more even development. (EMS).
In contrast to other countries with a colonial past, Morocco had an existing precolonial urban pattern concentrated in the interior and a high population-density in unfavourable mountainous regions. The economic and spatial planning after 1956
