Эти проблемы возникают во многом по причине отсутствия должного планирования развития городов, недостаточной координации действий на разных уровнях государственного управления, нехватки финансирования городских проектов.</p><p>Представленные в обзоре монографии содержат исследования процессов трансформации городов Африки в глобальном, национальном и локальном контекстах. Углубляя понимание урбанизации в странах Африки, ее движущих сил, динамики и особенностей взаимодействия городских акторов, авторы публикаций указывают на необходимость разработки целенаправленной и инклюзивной политики, которая объединяла бы местные, национальные и региональные усилия в области городского развития. Среди ключевых элементов такой политики специалисты выделяют координацию проектов развития на национальном и локальном уровнях и повышение качества управления ими; инвестирование в инфраструктуру базовых услуг, в том числе в районах неформальной застройки; расширение возможностей местных органов власти в качестве ключевых игроков в формировании локальных стратегий социально-экономического развития.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The growth of cities and urban population in Africa is inducing an increase in informal housing building, growth of poverty and inequality, limited access of citizens to basic services and urban infrastructure, growth of the informal economy, etc. These problems arise largely due to the lack of proper urban development planning, insufficient action coordination at different levels of government, lack of funding for urban projects.</p><p>The books presented in the review contain studies of transformation processes in African cities seen in the global, national and local contexts. Deepening understanding of urbanization in African countries, its driving forces, dynamics and interactions between urban actors, the authors of the publications point out the need to develop targeted and inclusive policies that would unite local, national and regional efforts in the field of urban development. Among the key elements of such policy, experts highlight coordination of development projects at the national and local levels and improving the quality of their management; investing in basic service infrastructure, including the areas of informal housing; empowering local authorities as key players in shaping local strategies for socio-economic development.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>урбанизация</kwd><kwd>Африка</kwd><kwd>африканские города</kwd><kwd>неформальные поселения</kwd><kwd>политика городского развития</kwd><kwd>городская инфраструктура</kwd><kwd>управление рисками</kwd><kwd>совместное производство знаний</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>urbanization</kwd><kwd>Africa</kwd><kwd>African cities</kwd><kwd>informal settlements</kwd><kwd>urban development policy</kwd><kwd>urban infrastructure</kwd><kwd>risk management</kwd><kwd>knowledge co-production</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">African cities and collaborative futures.
