Africa is the least developed continent and at present it suffers from rapid urbanization which does not keep pace with economic development. Sprawl of African cities, lack of social services and high rates of unemployment are the direct consequences of rapid urbanization. With these problems in mind, what are the chances of transforming the African cities into sustainable green cities?
