Urban Growth and Land Degradation in Developing Cities (Kings Soas Studies in Development Geography)

" Urban Growth and Land Degradation in Developing Cities (Kings Soas Studies in Development Geography)" ebook introduction:

The peri-urban interface in poor countries is frequently an area of great dynamism and a focus of competition for basic resources. In Nigeria, peri-urban livelihood strategies have become an increasingly important survival mechanism in the context of rapid urban growth. This book uses an innovative combination of methodologies from both the natural and social sciences to examine recent developments in and around the city of Kano in Northern Nigeria, and in doing so, provides insights into the sustainability of these livelihood strategies. Identifying some of the most significant forces that are currently shaping the process of peri-urban change, it argues that, despite the farmers’ adoption of creative and ingenious strategies, the sustainability of a once apparently resilient system is starting to break down.
