| description |
Rapid urbanization in Ghana over the
past three decades has coincided with rapid GDP growth. This
has helped to create jobs, increase human capital, decrease
poverty, and expand opportunities and improve living
conditions for millions of Ghanaians. Ghana’s urban
transformation has been momentous, but it is not unique: a
similar process has characterized other countries at similar
levels of development. Ghana’s key challenge now is to
ensure that urbanization continues to complement growth
through improvements in productivity and inclusion, rather
than detracting from these goals. Many rising problems are
related to efficiency and inclusion: these include slums,
lack of basic services, underdeveloped manufacturing, and
insufficient transport infrastructure. |
