Anambra, with its population of over 4 million people in 2006, is the second most urbanized state in Nigeria, having 62% of its total population living in urban areas. Unfortunately, past Governments since creation of the State in 1991 have failed to adopt city development strategies for the many fast growing cities in the State to cope with rapid urbanization.

This booklet outlines the basic steps taken towards effective and integrated urban development in the city of Berbera in the northern Somalia region (Somaliland). It discusses the tools and processes used – such as a city profile, a city consultation, a spatial analysis, and action plans – and the results that emerged. Ultimately, the publication acts as a comprehensive methodological tool for strategic urban planning.
