Urbanization under the spotlight at UNAM
The University of Namibia announced its upcoming public lecture seriers for August 2012. The theme that will be covered is: The scramble for the city ? Urbanization in Namibia.
In a statement the University states that increasing numbers of rural dwellers move to town in search of employment. They are driven by the scarcity of rural resources, and attracted by urban life. Namibia?s cities face severe challenges. As informal settlements of the marginalized poor grow in number and size, affluent suburbs also expand. Cities grow apart, spatially and socially, reflecting intensifying social inequalities of post-independence Namibian society.
