The State of African Cities 2010: Governance, Inequality and Urban Land Markets report is the second in a series of regional, Africa-focused reports produced by UNHABITAT. It should preferably be read in conjunction with UN-HABITAT’s globally-focused State of the World’s Cities
2010/11 report.

The current report elaborates in greater detail on particular urban processes and themes relevant to Africa, illustrating them with recent data and relevant examples. While much of the scope does focus on cities, no specific settlement size threshold is used and this report addresses urbanization and urban areas in general.
