It has been necessitated by urban ills in Ghana and other sub-Saharan African countries. Urbanization has led to the creation of informal settlements within communities in sub-Saharan countries that are most vulnerable to the effects of climate change, coupled with the lack of enforcement of planning and building laws that have resulted in spatial chaos and vegetative depletion. 'Ailing Cities' addresses relevant topics essential to give the reader an understanding of how individuals and communities can bring lasting changes to their communities."--Page 4 of printed paper wrapper 505 00 $g Machine generated contents note: $t Role of Young Planners. $t The Rise of Accra: Pre-Independence -- $t Urban Planning in Accra -- $t Ills of Modern Accra -- $t Calls for a New Capital 63 Years After Independence -- $t Future of Accra -- $t Founding a City -- $t Change In A Climate Change Era -- $t Perennial Flooding in Ghana -- $t Understanding Climate Change -- $t Adapting to Climate Change -- $t Urban Heat Island Effect (UHI) -- $t Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure -- $t How do we Achieve the Sustainability and Resilience Agenda? -- $t Taking Advantage of the Sun -- $t Making Coastal Cities Resilient: Elmina -- $t Parks And Urban Forestry -- $t Saving the Vegetative Cover of an Urbanizing Accra -- $t Protecting the Vegetation Zones -- $t Avoiding Extinction -- $t A Relook At The Transportation Modes -- $t The Revival of Rail Transport -- $t Toward a Vibrant Ghanaian Railway Sector -- $t Revolutionizing Cycling -- $t Accessible And Affordable Housing -- $t Housing in Ghana -- $t Ghana Housing Policy -- $t The Ghanaian's Right to Housing -- $t How Have Other Countries Approached Housing? -- $t The Suburbanization Culture Explained -- $t Making Persons with Disability (PWD) Special -- $t Housing Prisoners and Making Prisons Model Communities -- $t Slums And Squatter Settlement -- $t The Issue of Population Explosion -- $t Defining Slums -- $t The Global Picture -- $t Life of the Slum Dweller -- $t Growth of Slums -- $t Old Fadama: Slum Upgrading or Slum Clearance? -- $t Learning from Curitiba -- $t Zoning And Master Planning -- $t Plan Making and Zoning in Principle -- $t Zoning in Ghana -- $t Land Ownership in Ghana -- $t Ethical Land Use -- $t Mortgage Financing -- $t Protecting the City's Image -- $t Planning Terminologies -- $t Street Layout And City Planning -- $t Grid Street System -- $t Radial Street System -- $t The Industrial Revolution -- $t Urban Renewal -- $t Recommendations For The Future Of Ghanaian Cities -- $t Economic Development -- $t Community Engagement -- $t Parks and Tree Planting -- $t Alternative Modes of Transport -- $t Future of Ghanaian Prisons -- $t Built Environment Institutions and the Thriving City -- $t Role of Young Planners. 650 0 $a Urban ecology (Sociology) $z Africa, Sub-Saharan. 650 0 $a Urban ecology (Sociology) $z Ghana. 650 0 $a Urban health $z Africa, Sub-Saharan. 650 0 $a Architecture and society $z Africa, Sub-Saharan. 650 0 $a Urban ecological design $z Africa, Sub-Saharan. 650 0 $a Urbanization $z Ghana. 650 0 $a Urbanization $z Africa, Sub-Saharan. 650 0 $a Sustainable development $z Africa, Sub-Saharan. 650 6 $a Ecologie urbaine $z Afrique subsaharienne. 650 6 $a Ecologie urbaine $z Ghana. 650 6 $a Sante urbaine $z Afrique subsaharienne. 650 6 $a Architecture et societe $z Afrique subsaharienne. 650 6 $a Urbanisation $z Ghana. 650 6 $a Urbanisation $z Afrique subsaharienne. 650 6 $a Developpement durable $z Afrique subsaharienne. 650 7 $a Architecture and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00813574 650 7 $a Sustainable development. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01139731 650 7 $a Urban ecological design. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02022005 650 7 $a Urban ecology (Sociology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01733718 650 7 $a Urban health. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01162445 651 7 $a Ghana. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208741 651 7 $a Sub-Saharan Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239520 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117021822.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DDFD4204AE9011EDA0B1416654ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
