Beskrivning

Now reissued with a new preface by the author, this book was originally published in 1982 at a time when increasing emphasis was being given to regional development planning in many developing countries. This new emphasis arose from the conviction that the spatial organization of activities fundamentally affects national rates of economic growth as well as the distribution of benefits to the greatest number of people. This study analyses the spatial organization of the Ethiopian urban system, the structure and socio-economic characteristics or the urban areas and the locational decisions of firms in the country. It also examines the extent to which infrastructure investment in Ethiopia in the 20th century affected the development of urban areas with regard to growth and their potential to attract new industries.

Original Review of A Spatial Analysis of Urban-Industrial Development in Ethiopia:‘It provides a lucid and rational record of a practical research demonstration and evaluative study…The conclusions are solid and will be used as benchmarks for the study of Ethiopian subsystems for many years to come. This is an outstanding contribution to the body of literature on African urbanization and spatial planning and as such must be ready by all concerned with…development strategies in Africa.’ R.A. Obudho, African Urban Quarterly, 1988.
