Today, approximately 38 percent of Africa's population lives in urban centers.
Urban growth can lead to endless and crippling problems when it is unplanned, random and chaotic.
The survivability of urban populations is quickly becoming a pressing global issue. That's where the jobs are. That's where health care is available. And that's where unbearable living conditions are rapidly developing. Within the next 25 years, the world's total urban population is forecast to reach 2.5 billion.
