| Summary: | Urbanization in Cambodia offers the
potential for inclusive growth and poverty reduction. The
proportion of people living in cities is on the rise, and
many of the drivers of growth for the country are urban
based industries such as manufacturing, tourism, and trade.
This creates an important opportunity for the country, as
the decisions made today will affect the urbanization
process in significant ways for decades to come. This report
aims to help inform urbanization policy in Cambodia,
understand the economic potential of cities, key constraints
to realizing that potential, and develop a strategic
approach for improving urban growth and resilience in those
cities. The report includes three sections, i) an
introduction to patterns of urbanization and the economic
potential of cities in Urbanization; ii) analysis of key
challenges; and iii) policy and program options for
achieving the full potential of urbanization. |
