The study analyzed the impact of urban planning on reducing household poverty in
Uganda. It found that both negative and positive factors significantly influence household
poverty. The study also identified five key factors that contribute to household poverty:
social services, research and development, employment, and investment. The findings
suggest that urban planners should align their policies with government policies when
allocating resources to reduce poverty caused by unplanned urbanization. The study
recommends that urban planners work to improve the quality of life for households in
Uganda.
This document discusses urbanization, housing, and infrastructure in Lagos, Nigeria. It notes that Lagos has experienced rapid urbanization and population growth that has outstripped investments in housing and basic infrastructure. As a result, many residents live in slums that lack access to clean water, sanitation, transportation, and other services. The government has acknowledged these issues and has begun projects to improve infrastructure through investments in roads, electricity, and other facilities. However, meeting future challenges of urbanization will require more efforts to boost housing supply and ensure all residents have access to basic infrastructure and services.
This document summarizes a study on the risks of rapid urbanization in Davao City, Philippines. The study finds that rapid urbanization can lead to issues like overpopulation, poor infrastructure, and environmental and health problems. Specifically, it identifies risks such as traffic issues from population growth, inadequate electricity, water, and transportation systems to support infrastructure growth, increased health problems for urban poor from factors like pollution, and greater greenhouse gas emissions contributing to climate change. The researchers recommend adopting strategic infrastructure development policies to help manage uncontrolled urban expansion.
Urbanization in Bangladesh has increased rapidly in recent decades as the population migrates from rural to urban areas. This unplanned urbanization has led to several issues in major cities like Dhaka, including extreme overpopulation, shortage of housing and utilities, increased pollution, and environmental degradation. While urbanization has contributed to economic growth, it has also exacerbated problems like rising inequality, poverty, and pressures on infrastructure if not properly managed. Addressing the challenges of urbanization in a sustainable manner requires improved planning, management of rural-urban migration flows, and balanced development across urban and rural areas of Bangladesh.
The document discusses urbanization in Bangladesh and its impacts. It notes that urbanization refers to the migration of people from rural to urban areas, resulting in population concentration and growth in cities. In Bangladesh, urbanization has occurred rapidly, with over 25% of the population now living in urban areas, most concentrated in Dhaka and other large cities. However, rapid and unplanned urbanization has led to several issues such as pollution, water logging, transport problems, and the degradation of urban environments and infrastructure. Addressing the challenges of urbanization in a sustainable manner requires integrated planning and development efforts across Bangladesh.

towns and cities partially in large industrial cities prohibeteration of slums has been taking place whenever the
urban resources are stretched by intense population pressure. Industries in all major towns and cities have
attracted a sizable number of people from rural areas who were reeling under the pressure of poverty there by
leading to proliferation of slums at a faster rate. Such people who came to the cities in search of livelihood

Urbanization and Crime in India A Temporal Analysis from 1991 to 2011ijtsrd
Urbanization is social as well as an economic process it is a population shift from a rural agrarian society to an industrialized urban society. It is a result of the movement of rural to urban migration in search of a better quality of life, as well as is an outcome of natural population growth in urban areas. Urbanization is considered an indicator of the socio economic progress of a society. It has been considered by most of the researchers that more urbanized countries are economically as well as socially well developed. In the economic aspect, urbanization is good for the development of a region because it promotes industrial growth and the development of the economy. However, rapid urbanization and expansion of cities as a result of continuous migration have created various problems in Indian cities. From a social point of view, there are several adverse impacts of urbanization crime is one of them, which is recognised as the most negative effect of urbanization in urban areas especially in developing countries. Crime is one of the most contemporary social problems in urban areas of developing countries, and it is directly or indirectly correlated to the unplanned urbanization process. Some special urban characteristics such as size, high population density, heterogeneous population, impersonality, unemployment, urban poverty, and poor quality of life are responsible for the high crime rate in urban areas. The main objective of this paper is to understand some of the general theoretical as well as quantitative perspectives within which the link between urbanization and crime is explained in the best possible way in the context of India from 1991 to 2011.

Challenges faced in emergency response phase in urban areasAshique Hasan
The document discusses challenges faced by humanitarian agencies in providing emergency response in urban areas based on lessons from earthquakes in Haiti and Chile. It notes that uncontrolled urbanization due to migration has created difficulties including political complexity, frequent displacement of vulnerable groups, lack of social cohesion, differing psychological needs, security issues for aid workers, looting, violence and crime. The Haiti and Chile earthquakes demonstrated problems like political leaders interfering with aid distribution for political gain, and widespread looting occurred when law and order broke down. The document argues humanitarian efforts need to better address the needs of the growing urban poor population.
Challenges faced in emergency response phase in urban areasAshique Hasan
The world is now facing a rapid growth of urbanization mainly in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Now the time has come to give more attention to urban people as the humanitarian agencies faced lots of difficulties in emergency response phase in urban areas. And some of the difficulties are very challenging and uncommon compared to rural areas. The uncontrolled urbanization due to unexpected migration towards urban areas is one of the underlying causes for that. Beside these lack of good governance and peoples accountability also responsible for stimulating the migration process towards urban areas. This paper tries to focus the causes of migration. And how it turns into hazard in urban perspective and create difficulties for the humanitarian agencies job during emergency response phase. Basing on case study of Haiti and Chile earthquake this paper highlights the gaps and limitation of the government’s disaster plan and following with some recommendations.
Urban Settlement- derived from time savers standardarananeust
The document discusses the rapid growth of urban settlements and cities globally, particularly the emergence of megacities with populations over 8 million. Most megacity growth is occurring in developing regions of the world that lack resources to support massive urbanization. This uncontrolled urban growth strains infrastructure and resources, contributing to issues like poverty, lack of sanitation, disease, and environmental degradation. Proper urban planning and efforts to stabilize populations and improve rural development are needed to guide urban growth in a sustainable manner.

- The document is a report on the state of African cities published by the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-HABITAT) and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA).
- It finds that most urban growth in Africa now occurs in secondary and tertiary cities with under 500,000 inhabitants rather than the largest cities. As a result, policymakers need to focus on guiding the growth of smaller cities.
- By 2030, the majority of Africans will be urban residents, most living in slums and informal settlements if no action is taken. The report aims to encourage governments to address issues of urban poverty, housing, water and sanitation.
The document discusses the challenges and opportunities of urban development in the Philippines. Some key points:
- Rapid urbanization is occurring, with nearly half the population living in urban areas and Metro Manila's population projected to reach 14 million by 2030.
- This brings economic opportunities but also problems like traffic, lack of basic services, increasing slums and poverty, and environmental issues if not properly managed.
- Private sector involvement through public-private partnerships is seen as important to addressing infrastructure needs while not overburdening public finances.
- A national urban policy and stronger institutions are needed to better coordinate urban planning, housing, and service delivery across national and local governments.
The document discusses several major urban problems faced by developing countries:
1. High population density due to rural-urban migration leads to overcrowding, traffic, pollution, housing shortages, and poor living conditions.
2. Inadequate infrastructure like roads, power, water supply burden urban areas.
3. Lack of affordable housing and secure tenure puts many in vulnerable conditions and increases risk of health issues and poverty.
4. Unemployment rises as job growth fails to keep pace with population growth, worsening poverty.
This presentation cross-cuts the four workshop themes and explains a method for measuring urbanization and its impacts in relation to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) which aim to reduce poverty by 50% 2000- 2015 and create pro-poor and healthy cities. The UN-Habitat Global Urban Observatory identifies five indicators for this: water, sanitation, living space, safe housing, and tenure. It is often assumed that urban mirrors economic growth, but while there has been poverty reduction in Asia (especially China) 1990-2010, this has not been the case in Africa, where, in many places, 70% or more of urban populations live in slums. Measurements of income inequality show serious disparities especially in many African cities, Johannesburg being particularly unequal. While the rich benefit from urban growth, the poor and women generally do not. The urban poverty observatory in Angola funded by Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has identified that, in terms of coverage and access to housing and urban services, affordability is the key determining factor.

CAMBRIDGE AS GEOGRAPHY REVISION: SETTLEMENTS - 6.4 THE MANAGEMENT OF URBAN SE...George Dumitrache
A comprehensive presentation of subchapter 6.4 The Management of Urban Settlements, from the third chapter of Human Geography, AS Cambridge, Settlements.
Urbanisation started in the early days along the river valleys where civilisation was first experienced. The rate of urbanisation at this time was slow; however, the rate of urbanisation in developing countries is so fast at the moment where it generates many problems like pollution, inadequate housing and clean water, flooding, high rate of waste disposal and insecurity. Many towns do not have plans and policies to govern the establishment of the infrastructures. Planning ensures proper establishment of infrastructures and thus adequate provision of social amenities. One of the major problems in Rongo Town is inadequate housing which is caused by high rate of population growth. Similarly, the provision of other social amenities like education, health and electricity has been stressed as the local authorities and central governments lack the capacity to cope up with the population increase. There is great need to expand the capacity of these facilities in Rongo Town. The need to put in place policies that govern waste management and environmental conservation cannot be downplayed. The government and the local authorities should establish town boundaries to check the movement of towns into the neighbourhood and hence protect the resources in the neighbourhood for economic growth. In a nutshell, everybody including government, local authorities, engineers, planners, town and local residents should be involved in planning and policy formulation so as to improve the living standards of the residents of Rongo Town.
The Link between Rural-Urban Migration of Youth and Crime in Anyigba Town, Ko...AI Publications
This study was conducted to establish the link between rural-urban migration of youth and crime in Anyigba town of Dekina local government area of Kogi State- Nigeria. Data were collected through the application of structured questionnaire and personal interviews. The study has established that in Nigeria, the youths migrate from the rural areas to the cities due to the general lack of socio-economic facilities that would vitalize social life. It has shown that on getting into the urban centres, they face the problem of unemployment in the formal sector and therefore end up in the informal sector where incomes are low and intermittent. It has noted that due to the low incomes in the informal sector and their intermittent nature, these migrant youths get engaged in unlawful livelihood means. The study has thus recommended that since rural Nigeria is essentially rural and depend on agriculture, agriculture should be modernized. Modernization of agriculture could yield substantial benefits. For example, modernising agriculture will create new job opportunities in production, distribution, processing and other related services. Modernization of agriculture will provide the ‘pull’ needed to keep the young people on the land instead of migrating to the cities. Millions of Nigerian youth enter the labour market daily facing huge challenges especially unemployment. Therefore, the federal, state and local governments should provide the rural areas with more resources. Policies should be formulated to target the youth who are leaving the rural areas. Emphasis should be on entrepreneurship. In Nigeria, rural areas are not being provided with enough opportunities and are losing their young people. This has serious socio-economic consequences. Therefore, rural infrastructures such as electricity, water, roads, educational institutions, etc should be provided in the rural areas to make the young people to remain in the rural areas. The migrant youths are always normal people when they leave their villages but meet abnormal situations in the cities. Their actions are therefore a response to the abnormal situations. Therefore, effective policing by both the community and other security agencies should be intensified so as to limit the freedom these youths have in expressing their dispositions and desires.
Towards A Global Civil Society: A Review of Pertaining Issues, Successes and ...AkashSharma618775
This article reviews the notion of civil society by raising pertinent issues, successes and drawbacks. Often
referred to as the space where we act for common good, civil society aims to connect poor or marginalized people
with groups that can mobilize support to help. We know that civil society by itself cannot achieve poverty
eradication. It must act in partnership with governments and institutions but it must be one of the partners and
not just a servant to carry out the designs of governments or corporations. Therefore there is need to expand the
role of NGOs and civil society organizations in three main specific areas related to poverty eradication: technical,
financial and political and enhancing the participation of those whose lives are affected by decisions and this can
only happen when there is an enabling environment designed to promote popular participation. The contributions
of civil society in global environmental preservation cannot be ignored since it is a cross cutting issue and both
national and international governments need other actors to make it a reality. In short, there has been increasing
support for civil society as understanding has grown about the important role that CSOs can play in bringing
about development goals. The Millennium Declaration and the Millennium Summit Outcome Document
emphasize the relationship between sustainable human development and democratic governance and the need for
civil society engagement to foster both.
Our exploration of Cape Town's urban landscape reveals a city shaped by a rich history of urbanization, diverse neighborhoods, and pressing challenges. Additionally, we have delved into South Africa's urban pattern and the historical factors influencing its development. We've also briefly examined the racial segregation in South Africa. As we reflect on Cape Town's dynamic evolution, it becomes evident that sustainable strategies are essential to guide its future growth and development.
Integrated Solid Waste Management as Panacea for a sustainable Clean City in ...iosrjce
As a result of continuous economic growth, urbanization and industrialization there has been
increase in volume and types of solid and hazardous waste particularly in developing countries. Many Nigeria
cities and towns are facing problems of effective collection of garbage from homes and streets the situation that
make Nigerians to be permanently accustomed to dirt environment. Based on this background, the paper
examines the waste conditions and disposal as well as the influence on the environment in term of cleanliness at
Ado Ekiti in Nigeria using both primary and secondary sources of data collection which were subjected to
descriptive statistical analysis. The evidence of the result can be clearly seen every day by way of indiscriminate
discharge of garbage into drains and at times on the highways due to ineffective ways of waste management in
the town. The paper therefore recommends integrate waste management system as an option towards a clean
city.
Rapid, uncontrolled urbanization in developing countries has led to serious health and environmental consequences. It overloads hospitals and healthcare centers, causing shortages of medical resources. It also increases air pollution, which damages agriculture, costs countries significant GDP losses, and lowers average incomes. Urbanization is driving forces population growth in cities in developing nations.
Decarbonising Human Settlements through Regional Planning, Peri-urban Devel...JIT KUMAR GUPTA
Text tries to draw the attention of the professionals engaged in planning and designing of cities to the role of peri-urban areas in promoting the future planned growth of urban areas. Text also defines that cities need to be seen , planned , designed, developed and visuliased in the larger context not cofined to arbitrary physical boundaries defined by polotical and economic factors. Cities need to be seen in the larger context of the region and accordingly planned and devloped in the larger context of peri-urban araes/regional context, to stay safe, rational and sustainable. Neglecting rural areas at the cost of promoting urban development can be both irrational, illogical and fraught with danger of having lopsided developmnet of the urban areas. in the developing countries. Making cities carbon neutral will be possible only if the urban / rural areas and peri -urban areas are integrated within a unified planning, devlopment and management framework.

with groups that can mobilize support to help. We know that civil society by itself cannot achieve poverty
eradication. It must act in partnership with governments and institutions but it must be one of the partners and
not just a servant to carry out the designs of governments or corporations. Therefore there is need to expand the
role of NGOs and civil society organizations in three main specific areas related to poverty eradication: technical,
financial and political and enhancing the participation of those whose lives are affected by decisions and this can
only happen when there is an enabling environment designed to promote popular participation. The contributions
of civil society in global environmental preservation cannot be ignored since it is a cross cutting issue and both
national and international governments need other actors to make it a reality. In short, there has been increasing
support for civil society as understanding has grown about the important role that CSOs can play in bringing
about development goals. The Millennium Declaration and the Millennium Summit Outcome Document
emphasize the relationship between sustainable human development and democratic governance and the need for
civil society engagement to foster both.
Our exploration of Cape Town's urban landscape reveals a city shaped by a rich history of urbanization, diverse neighborhoods, and pressing challenges. Additionally, we have delved into South Africa's urban pattern and the historical factors influencing its development. We've also briefly examined the racial segregation in South Africa. As we reflect on Cape Town's dynamic evolution, it becomes evident that sustainable strategies are essential to guide its future growth and development.
Integrated Solid Waste Management as Panacea for a sustainable Clean City in ...iosrjce
As a result of continuous economic growth, urbanization and industrialization there has been
increase in volume and types of solid and hazardous waste particularly in developing countries. Many Nigeria
cities and towns are facing problems of effective collection of garbage from homes and streets the situation that
make Nigerians to be permanently accustomed to dirt environment. Based on this background, the paper
examines the waste conditions and disposal as well as the influence on the environment in term of cleanliness at
Ado Ekiti in Nigeria using both primary and secondary sources of data collection which were subjected to
descriptive statistical analysis. The evidence of the result can be clearly seen every day by way of indiscriminate
discharge of garbage into drains and at times on the highways due to ineffective ways of waste management in
the town. The paper therefore recommends integrate waste management system as an option towards a clean
city.
Rapid, uncontrolled urbanization in developing countries has led to serious health and environmental consequences. It overloads hospitals and healthcare centers, causing shortages of medical resources. It also increases air pollution, which damages agriculture, costs countries significant GDP losses, and lowers average incomes. Urbanization is driving forces population growth in cities in developing nations.
Decarbonising Human Settlements through Regional Planning, Peri-urban Devel...JIT KUMAR GUPTA
Text tries to draw the attention of the professionals engaged in planning and designing of cities to the role of peri-urban areas in promoting the future planned growth of urban areas. Text also defines that cities need to be seen , planned , designed, developed and visuliased in the larger context not cofined to arbitrary physical boundaries defined by polotical and economic factors. Cities need to be seen in the larger context of the region and accordingly planned and devloped in the larger context of peri-urban araes/regional context, to stay safe, rational and sustainable. Neglecting rural areas at the cost of promoting urban development can be both irrational, illogical and fraught with danger of having lopsided developmnet of the urban areas. in the developing countries. Making cities carbon neutral will be possible only if the urban / rural areas and peri -urban areas are integrated within a unified planning, devlopment and management framework.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

in Africa indicated that 15% of the
Ugandan population is expected to live in
the town by 2030 [6]. The current rate of
urban population has been attributed to
rural-urban migration, expanding
population growth, urban sprawl, and
urban planning. Available data shows that
Kampala Capital City Authority
experienced rapid population growth of
5.61% per annum in the year 2000 from
774,241 to 2.1 Million people [7][8][9]. A
study in [10] indicates that rural-urban
migration resulted in housing crises,
social exclusion, unemployment, and
income disparity. The urban population in
Uganda has registered an increase from
four million to 7.4 Million in 2020
[11][12]. Recently Uganda government
created more than eight Cities in addition
to the existing ones. The creation of Cities
focused on spurring growth and social-
economic transformation. The current
Ugandan towns face infrastructure
challenges, social exclusion, household
poverty, and unemployment as a result of
urbanization [13] [14]. Uganda as one of
the African countries has been pursuing
an urbanization agenda since 2010 by
implementing the National Urbanization
Policy Agenda focusing on the creation of
more Cities and Municipal towns with
efficient services. The Uganda Urban
Agenda concentrate on creating more
cities besides Kampala, the Capital City
despite this development, there should be
adequate data concerning African cities
[15-19]. The deterioration of Ugandan
cities has led to many urban crises [17].
Scholars in [18] argued that urbanization
had led to the problem of unemployment
in the various towns. A review by the
National Urbanization Policy indicated
that household poverty is rising in
Ugandan Municipal towns, yet, the
Municipal Councils play a critical role as
it serves as centers for economic
prospects, better administration and
centers for decent accommodation [19]
[15].
According to the researcher in [19], urban
developments in Uganda must produce
more sustainable cities and towns free
from household poverty. According to a
researcher in [20], home poverty was a
danger to the livelihoods and social
services of Nansana inhabitants. Many
people living in Municipal Towns need a
stable source of income, appropriate
housing, a job, mobility, access to great
healthcare, an excellent education, and
adequate nutrition [15]. According to an
assessment by [21], inadequate urban
planning and a lack of services and
infrastructure are to blame for the rising
levels of poverty in urban areas.
According to a study by [22], household
poverty is caused by a variety of factors,
including but not limited to social
corruption. The Nansana Municipal
Council study on urbanization and
household poverty has produced data to
address the data challenge.
Literature Review on Urban Planning
In order to help fill out the sparse data on
municipal councils, the goal of this
literature review is to investigate the
relationships between household poverty
and urban population growth, urban
planning, urban sprawl, and government
intervention in the Nansana Municipal
Council, Wakiso District. As a result,
research has been done on how
household poverty rates around the world
are affected by urban population increase,
urban expansion, and government action.
According to a study, there is a paradigm
shift in the population as it migrates to
the towns as urbanization progresses. In
quest of chances like jobs, social services,
security, and decent housing, migrants
are fleeing the countryside and small
towns. This movement and the resulting
scarcity in the towns lead to a
circumstance of household poverty.
Therefore, it is doubtful that the
connection between urbanization and
household poverty will grow. A
noteworthy achievement is that,
throughout the past 100 years, and
particularly the last three decades,
worldwide poverty levels have continued
to decline. 52% of the world was living on
less than $1.25 per day in 1981. This
percentage was reduced by half by 2005,
to 25%, and by 2008, to 22.2% [23]. The
extreme poverty rate has decreased even
more, according to preliminary
projections for 2010, and if subsequent
3. www.idosr.org Kahara et al
11
studies confirm this, the Millennium
Development Goal (MDG) of halving global
poverty will have been accomplished five
years earlier. Even after the financial,
food, and gasoline shocks of 2008–2009,
the decrease of poverty has increased
recently in the majority of nations [24]. A
study done in Ghana found that
urbanization was to blame for the growth
of squatter/slum communities. Urban
people suffered from poor earnings,
exorbitant rent, and environmental
deterioration as they lived in low-lying
districts of Cities and Towns. According
to the report in [25], there are now
enormous growth-related issues as more
and more migrants flock to urban areas.
According to another evaluation in [26],
the capacity of Municipal towns and cities
to address urban issues has been
outstripped by urban growth. This goes
against the idea that towns will become
more populous because over 40% of
Africans who live in cities are predicted to
do so. However, the municipal authorities
lack the resources necessary to offer
urban people sufficient services.
However, a crisis resulted from the cities'
incapacity to provide services for the
growing population. According to the
analysis by [27], Kampala City's
exceptional rates of urbanization hurt
welfare and service delivery. On the other
hand, the Republic of Uganda Local
Government Act (1997) aimed to build
towns with enough services for the
populace [28]. According to an
assessment by the [29], unplanned growth
has caused a shortage of facilities like
water, sanitization, education, and
banking services. Urbanization has
resulted in the growth of squatter
settlements, with the majority of slum
dwellers being denied access to land as
well as other resources and services
including water, health care, and
education. The analysis revealed that the
majority of urban dwellers with low
incomes belonged to vulnerable
households. The previous study found
that urban authorities had trouble getting
access to markets, roads, water, and
power to improve the quality of life.
The truly impoverished could not provide
for their basic requirements, including
food, clothing, and a good place to live
[30]. Additionally, the poor population
lack access to basic necessities like water,
health care, education, mobility, and
energy. The scholar in [31] asserts that
the only criteria for being considered
poor are having enough food and no
access to money. To have a good picture
of poverty, social indicators and
indicators of risk and vulnerability must
also be taken into account and
understood. When defining poverty, the
World Bank takes into account social
indicators like accessibility to
infrastructure services like clean water,
sanitary facilities, solid waste collection
and disposal, storm drainage, public
transportation, access roads and
footpaths, street lighting, and public
telephones. To describe poverty, it makes
use of elements as basic as those needed
for human survival. Hence, other
neighbourhood amenities, like secure play
places, communal spaces, electrical
connections, and social services, can play
a significant role in raising the standard
of living so that the poor might escape
poverty in some nations. People are better
off if they have more control over
resources; we might consider one's well-
being as control over commodities in
general. We may also consider having
access to a certain class of consumption
goods (like food or housing) which makes
those who have the necessary skills
happy [32].
Furthermore, about 66% of Ugandans are
vulnerable to household poverty,
according to the Poverty Assessment
Status Report in 2021, which was
published in January 2023. According to
academia, the 2010 Uganda National
Urban Policy (UNUP) does not guide for
addressing urban issues such as urban
food security, the gender component,
power disparities, and poverty among
urban groups [15]. The researcher in [15]
suggested that the Cities lack improved
slum conditions, better economic
prospects, and better governance.
According to the study by [33], a variety
of factors, including rural-to-urban
4. www.idosr.org Kahara et al
12
migration, natural growth, cultural
influences, climatic change, inadequate
urban design, and ineffective government
interventions, contribute to urbanization
and family poverty.
With a population of around 472 million
people living in urban areas, Africa is
thought to be the region of the world that
is urbanizing at the fastest rate [34]. Sub-
Saharan Africa's growing urbanization has
repercussions for the achievement of the
Sustainable Development Goals,
particularly Goal 11, which focuses on
creating sustainable cities and
communities and supplying excellent and
affordable public housing. The main
cause of population pressure in the
Towns is migration from rural to urban
areas [35]. Undeveloped landfills,
encroachment on open spaces, and rural
land sprawl are all effects of the rising
demand for built infrastructure.
Additionally, the lowering pace of
urbanization in developing countries is
explained by higher income, lower
transportation costs, and a preference for
rural living. Due to low housing and land
prices, the growing preference for nuclear
families, land development speculation,
and better prospects for life-changing
experiences, individuals still prefer to live
in rural areas that are less hectic and
bustling than cities [36][37-39]
Factors that Affect Urban Planning
Sub-Saharan Africa's growing urbanization
presents numerous serious problems for
African cities, including stress on the
environment and climate-related
vulnerabilities. Others remain household
poverty threats, such as urban poverty
and the spread of informal settlements.
Additionally, research has shown that
poor urban governance and weak urban
planning and management organizations
are the root causes of household poverty.
Additionally, the already limited water
resources are under a great deal of stress
from the rapid urban population increase
and the associated water demand. The
difficulty of enhancing waste
management services exists in African
cities as well. Studies carried out in the
Towns discovered that the lack of solid
waste management systems, as seen by
the widespread disposal of trash and
harmful industrial goods in rivers and
unregulated landfills next to
communities, poses serious risks to
public health and water quality through
pollution [40][41].
Similar studies showed that municipal
authorities lacked the competence
(technical and administrative skills),
sufficient resources, and proper urban
planning legislation and policies on
housing to effectively plan and manage
urban development. Urban poverty in
Africa is still pervasive. Despite the ten
years of rapid economic growth
experienced by the whole continent,
almost 50% of Africans still make less
than $1.25 per day, and only 4% make
more than $10. Related research revealed
that the absence of formal employment
had forced thousands of city people into
the informal economy, which now
accounts for 61% of urban employment in
Africa and 93% of all new jobs. The urban
transition has led to the proliferation of
informal settlements and increased urban
poverty and insecurity [41] [29].
According to [41], 61.7% of Africans who
lived in cities did so in informal
settlements. Without access to suitable
housing, energy, transportation, safe
drinking water, sanitation and waste
management facilities, and necessary
services like health and education, these
villages faced deteriorating ecosystems.
The urban poor are now compelled to
turn to shady informal service providers
due to the lack of these fundamental
amenities. As a result, there have been
negative repercussions of climate change
that have increased environmental
dangers and caused mayhem for city
dwellers. The majority of African cities
are frequently hit by violent storms,
floods, and droughts which increase
health and sanitation challenges, intensify
water and food scarcity, infrastructure
damage, and disrupt services such as
water and energy supplies. Nevertheless,
If such challenges are not addressed,
African cities are vulnerable to disasters
and climate change impact [41][42]
According to a study of 75 Ugandan
communities, there isn't enough money to
5. www.idosr.org Kahara et al
13
give urban households housing and
sanitary facilities. According to the
report, 1.8 million people, or less than
half of the 3.7 million urban residents,
have access to piped water. Notably, the
remaining urban people rely on springs,
rains, and boreholes for survival [42].
According to a review by [43], urban areas
have devolved into decaying mud-and-
wattle settlements that have all
disintegrated beneath the weight of the
recent migrant population. metropolitan
planning systems did not include a
scenario in which locals from the
countryside would invade metropolitan
areas, or else the population would
skyrocket and quickly overwhelm the
infrastructure. They also faced
overlapping kinds of urban violence that
limited access to official and informal
employment, additional educational
possibilities, foreign and domestic
investment, mobility, and stigmatized
areas [44].
To live in a secure home and expand their
businesses, urban dwellers locked in
hotspots choose to raise investments.
Fear of exposure or victimization may
also induce them to put off opening up
small businesses or booths and limit their
small-scale interactions and acts of
solidarity with their neighbours.
Additionally, kids are now more exposed
to the predatory behaviour of organized
and small-time criminals. The inadequate
penetration of basic services and their
disproportionately high cost in the slums
force others who are vulnerable to rely on
the informal economy to survive [45].
Gangs live in the slums, where they not
only cement their social and political
power and perform other slum-specific
activities but also their economic hold
[46]. The problem in the growth of
housing and finance for the urban
vulnerable in Asia is familiar to those
found in other developing countries like
Uganda. According to [47], access to water
supply improved in Asian cities between
1990- 2008, and most counties in the
region are likely to achieve the
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
According to the figures for 2008, East
and North East Asia have made significant
strides in the provision of water supplies,
servicing 98% of their urban population.
South East Asia comes closely behind with
95% of the urban population, while South
East Asia accounts for around 92% [48].
However, throughout the majority of East
and North East Asia, an estimated 4-6% of
the urban population still lacks access to
water. In the Asian countries of
Bangladesh, Indonesia, Myanmar, and
Nepal, the percentage of the urban
population with access to water fell from
12% to 3% between 1990 and 2008. This
suggested that the national and local
governments needed to step up their
actions to ensure that the growing urban
population could obtain water. However,
the lack of a strong millennium aim and
the limited accessibility of the water
supply have caused a water crisis among
the households. Given the foregoing, the
majority of Asian Pacific countries most
certainly fell short of the Millennium
Sanitation Target [47].
It was opined that better work, education,
healthcare, and culture are all available in
cities but its implications and effects are
what matters most. Additionally, they
make disproportionate contributions to
national economies. Rapid urbanization
and unplanned urban growth, however,
are frequently linked to poverty,
environmental damage, and population
increase that exceeds the capacity of
services. These circumstances endanger
people's health. Urban locations are
known to have a variety of health risks for
residents, including subpar housing,
overcrowding, air pollution, a lack of
contaminated drinking water, poor
sanitation, and poor solid waste disposal
services.
Vector-borne illnesses, industrial waste,
increased motor vehicle traffic, the stress
of poverty, and unemployment were
problems in other places [49]. The
Nansana Municipal Council has evolved
into a community for low-income
individuals, business communities, and
city traders. Numerous low-income
individuals have been drawn to urban
areas, which has contributed to sprawl
expansion and unplanned settlements.
Beyond the Central Business District
6. www.idosr.org Kahara et al
14
(CBD), the informal settlement has
expanded. Slum communities have
consequently grown in places like Kibwa
in the Nabweru division and Kibuloka,
Kiboggo, Masitowa, and Yesu-Amala in the
Nansana Division. The Nansana Municipal
Council, however, is now drawing
organized settlements for real estate
development. Zion estate in Kiwenda is
one of these estates, but many people are
still looking for Nansana as a quick
substitute for Kampala City [15][50].
While the Nansana Municipal Council has
approved physical development plans,
approximately 15% of the plan has been
adopted and implemented. As a result,
the Municipal Councils have not yet
developed a systematic approach to
dealing with the issue of revenue
deficiencies [51]. Without effective
planning, Uganda's rate of urbanization
has accelerated, making it difficult for
low-income households in particular to
obtain basic infrastructure and social
amenities. The quantity and calibre of
services are not commensurate with the
needs of city dwellers [52]. Additionally,
the pressure from the population's
increased expansion of infrastructure
facilities has resulted in major pollution
and traffic congestion in the cities,
especially for walkers, Boda-Boda, and big
vehicles [53][52].
According to the study by [21], most
municipal administrations lack the
necessary urban planning laws, housing
regulations, administrative and technical
expertise, professional ability, and
financial resources to effectively plan and
manage urban development. Such a
situation intensified inequality and
marginalization of the low-income
population while also causing an increase
in the number of unplanned, underserved
settlements in cities. These affect
development poles negatively and
adversely [54, 55]. Although the Ugandan
government used the private sector to
implement structural reforms to solve the
issues, Uganda is currently dealing with a
housing shortage of more than two
million [21]. The research revealed that
without service centers, livable
neighbourhoods, employment hubs,
organized businesses, suitable
educational hubs, and sound urban
planning, Nansana Municipal Council
could not have developed. Therefore, the
residents have been subjected to
deprivation and abject poverty as a result
of the Municipal authorities' incapacity to
offer services to the residents. However,
according to the World Population
Prospects 2018, urbanization is
anticipated to lead to the creation of hubs
for technological innovation and
entrepreneurship, high-concentration
business zones, and nearby locations for
centers of commerce and finance. In
addition, metropolitan regions ought to
be bustling cities with cutting-edge
infrastructure, knowledge, and
information centers [56].
According to a review in [41], urban
poverty is still pervasive across Africa.
Even though the African continent has
experienced decades of economic
improvement, almost 50% of Africans still
make less than $1.25 per day.
Comparatively, only 4% of people make
more than $10 each day. Beginning in
1991, several apartheid-era regulations
have divided South African cities into
urban (black) African townships with few
socioeconomic options for the majority-
black African population. Urbanization
was said to be characterized by racial
segregation, particularly in South Africa.
According to the study, Whites and
Indians had easier access to excellent
housing and work opportunities.
Compared to Black townships, even
White-dominated communities had better
transportation and communication
[57][58-60]. Household poverty has been
linked in large part to rural-urban growth.
Other earlier research attributed poverty
to a lack of transportation options
connecting the core business center (CBD)
with the surrounding areas [57].
According to research by [61], Kampala
City's outskirts was home to an increasing
number of informal communities. These
slum communities grew on the outskirts
of Kampala Capital City without having
access to employment opportunities,
transportation systems, or urban
amenities. The majority of these buildings
7. www.idosr.org Kahara et al
15
are transitory settlements with unstable
housing, poor sanitation, poor waste
management, and social issues. The
Government's inability to alleviate
household poverty was attributed to a
lack of preparation. Without effective
planning, Uganda's rising urbanization
has made it challenging for the
government to provide adequate
infrastructure and social services,
particularly if the population growth
exceeds the ability of the municipal
authorities to support the households
[52]. Municipal towns have few
opportunities for official work, according
to the analysis by [62], which has resulted
in a reliance on the unorganized sector
for employment. The implication is that
61% of urban employment in Africa and
93% of all new jobs were in the informal
sector.
According to a study by [62], the
unemployment problem that metropolitan
regions are experiencing is a contributing
factor to the rise in household poverty
and insecurity. Cities in the global South
are inescapably taking on an ever more
significant position in urban theory,
according to studies by [63][64].
According to the analysis by [65], Uganda
was one of the East African nations that
was urbanizing the fastest. By 2035,
Uganda is anticipated to house over 68.4
million people, according to predictions.
The implication is that more than 30% of
Ugandans are anticipated to reside in
urban areas and municipal towns.
However, Uganda's historical economic
growth trends, which have been positive
on average over the previous ten years,
support the idea that urbanization and
agglomeration have occurred in areas that
are conducive to higher-order economic
activity. However, because municipal
councils are still very tiny, this viewpoint
has not adequately addressed their
situation. Therefore, Municipal Councils
cannot function effectively until the
current situation of urban expansion is
understood. Thus, the development of
large, haphazard settlements and islands
of poverty is likely. How developing
countries can seize this unique chance to
effectively manage urbanization to
generate orderly and planned human
settlements is the biggest issue. Urban
households should expect a better life in
places that are better designed.
Therefore, the government of Uganda
needs to increase its capacity at all levels
to develop planned, poverty-free
communities and protect Uganda from the
emergence of slums, which regrettably
characterize Ugandan towns [65].
According to [56], urbanization shows
transforming environments and entry
points for both internal and foreign
migrants. The gaps in services and
household impoverishment are also
explained by these differences. In low-
density districts of the Municipal Council,
such as Gombe and Busukuma, the
researcher found that inadequate
infrastructure and utility provision had a
detrimental effect on property values. The
Gombe and Busukuma divisions have a
limited amount of piped water coverage,
and numerous locations in the least
urbanized divisions lack piped water,
increasing vulnerability. The goal of the
Central and Local Governments to
enhance local government functions to
enhance the welfare of urban people and
improve their standard of living was
identified in [66][67]. Hence, this required
a focus on environmental sustainability
and sacrifice for national interests to
strive for local goals.
A similar study by [68], found that most
of the low-income urban residents who
lived in developing nations are excluded
from accessing befitting houses because
of their inability to afford them. The
researcher opined unless household
poverty is addressed, it will be dangerous
to humanity and urban governance. A
review by [69] opined that household
poverty was manifested by deplorable
living conditions of the Kampala Capital
City residents in Uganda. Similarly,
scholars in [17] opined that household
poverty in Kampala Capital City had
pushed many residents into what is called
“urbanization of poverty”. Hence, the
intellectuals opined that household
poverty had become a “hot potato” or
panacea for urban residents. The study
also indicates that urbanization
8. www.idosr.org Kahara et al
16
contributes to the urbanization of poverty
in Ugandan Towns [17]. Another related
study on urbanization, policy and
planning in Uganda found that
urbanization had increased the
vulnerability of urban residents. As a
result, Kampala grew exponentially and
spread to the agricultural lands occupied
by the low income. The implication is that
the rich have taken over land occupied by
the poor and have made them migrate
back to the rural areas whereas others
have decided to risk their lives by settling
on the margins of wetlands. The
vulnerable urban residents were pushed
to the receiving end and deprived of their
rights by taking over their belongings
[29]. The researcher attributed increased
vulnerability to the lack of urban planning
agencies for addressing the housing crisis
and household poverty.
However, the condensed commercial and
human activity in a small area produces
waste and has negative effects on the
environment. Cities are effective when
they can maximize contact and
interaction, encouraging the creation and
sharing of ideas while fostering
commerce, mobility, and environmental
impact. Numerous factors interact,
affecting a city's ability to be more or less
successful, innovative, and sustainable.
The structures and institutions that
promote economic and social contact,
demographic and cultural features and
merely geographical considerations have
all been impacted by the rise and
expansion of the Nansana Municipal
Council. However, purely urban factors
such as the city layout, the availability of
conducive public spaces for contact, the
vibrancy of the city center, or its density,
can affect household poverty [50].
Land should be surveyed for its
significance to the environment,
agriculture, green space, forests, and
water resources including lakes and
rivers. Infrastructures such as water,
power, sewer, telephone cables, waste
disposal areas, highways, railroads, and
aerodromes should be given priority over
other urban land uses. Due to a lack of
resources, the government must now
participate in urban planning to raise
citizen’s welfare. These strategies' main
goal was to lower household poverty
among urban dwellers. According to the
previous assessment, the government
focused on upgrading slums and
rehabilitating squatter communities
where individuals who live in poverty do
so in cities. Other efforts centered on
providing vulnerable and low-income
populations with access to water,
electricity, healthcare, education,
markets, and sanitation [68].
The Uganda Government launched a
strategy for developing small cities in the
countryside as a mechanism for
household poverty reduction. Urban
policies also targeted the development of
small towns to help the small businesses
in the Countryside gain access to and
benefit from economic growth in the large
cities. This is based on the notion that
economic growth can be shared between
small and large urban settlements without
incurring losses [70]. In the study, the
researcher observed that urbanization has
contributed to the growth of towns such
as Nansana Municipal Council. However,
the growth of the Nansana Municipal
Council is not guided hence unplanned
growth in an un-gazetted manner was
experienced. The implication is that the
growth of economies for small and large
towns in Uganda is skewed in a scenario
where large towns have registered faster
growth while small towns are shirking and
registering negative growth. The scholar
in [71] focused on inclusive urbanization
for spreading the benefits of urban
growth to all the concerned areas. In the
study, the researcher observed that
suburbanization processes in Nansana
have increased the gap between middle-
income and low-income households.
The Ugandan government also established
a fair decentralization of services in
collaboration with the urban policy
agenda to extend services to all citizens.
However, for this policy to be effective,
there must be a national urban strategy
focused on building inclusive towns. The
Ugandan government is expected to run
inclusive governance by providing
directives to investors in both large and
small towns to adhere to the area plan of
9. www.idosr.org Kahara et al

the city. By creating this program, the
country's town infrastructure
inadequacies were intended to be curbed.
The ideal approach to promoting the
national well-being of urban dwellers
would have been to link local and national
governments. The study noted that rising
small and large towns has increased the
income gaps between wealthy and poor
households which was caused as a result
of lack of effective implementation of
inclusive policies [71].
The researcher realized that non-
governmental organisation (NGO) groups
have been mandated to support the weak
and the urban vulnerable by providing
them with their minimum needs in urban
areas such as healthcare and education.
These groups have instrumentally
empowered the urban poor households
especially the low-income earners to earn
a livelihood in towns. However, the NGO's
efforts to empower the informal workers
in an urban area have not yielded more
impact. This explains why they have left
the majority of the urban poor residents
out of the mainstream programmes in the
urban setting. The past review indicated
that most Governments had encouraged
self-driven initiatives in the urban setting
to enable the vulnerable to secure a living
and services such as houses, water and
primary healthcare [72].
It is intended to give urban inhabitants
the right to the city because of increasing
urbanization and growth. The creation of
many towns in Uganda aims at providing
access to low-income groups,
opportunities as well as decent living. A
related study conducted in Thailand has
established that close cooperation
between local authorities and
organizations of the urban poor was
crucial for reducing household poverty
[73] [74], In the study, the researcher
observed that a gap existed in the highly
populated divisions of Nansana and
Nabweru. This was largely attributed to
weak cooperation between the Central
Government and the Municipal Council in
the implementation of the poverty
reduction programme and this was
attributed to the reasons why the majority
of the people live in household poverty in
Nansana and Nabweru divisions.
CONCLUSION
This review work concludes that even
though household poverty threatens all
the global urban economies such as
Uganda, urban planning significantly
improves household welfare by reducing
poverty. However, it was observed from
the review findings that one of the factors
that contribute to household poverty in
Uganda is the inability of the Municipal
Authorities to provide the urban residents
with adequate utilities, social amenities,
services, and economic opportunities to
enable them to live lives free from
poverty. Consequently, most residents
have been pushed into vulnerability and
household poverty because of population
congestion without prior planning on how
to economically accommodate the
squeezed urban residents.
