Keywords: Sub-Saharan Africa; Urbanization Pattern; Colony City; Slum; New Town

Abstract:

Sub-Saharan Africa is the most undeveloped region in the world. Based on the analysis of three driving forces of sub-Saharan Africa urbanization (European colonial powers, spontaneous agglomeration, and contemporary international investment), this article describes three urbanization patterns, namely European colony city, Africa slums and international new town from the aspects of urban space layout forms, housing and infrastructure. In the end, the article points out that the successful experiences of rapid urbanization and large-scale urban construction since China’s reform and opening up could provide reference for sub-Saharan Africa.
