GEOG 470 — URBAN GEOGRAPHY II
BA BA Geography and Rural Development · Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology
This is a sequel to the GEOG 469 designed to give students more insight into the internal morphology of towns and cities. Occupation characteristics of towns and cities in terms of the urban economic functions will be discussed. Other equally important topics in the course will be the non-basic concept; the main sectors of the urban economy and urban land use plans. The course will further explore urban problems with respect to urban amenities (supply & demand); urban environmental pollution, the development of slums; traffic congestion in large towns; urban renewal; urban influence on the fringe and the hinterlands will as well be treated. There will be case studies of large towns, cities and urbanization in selected regions in Africa.
