Abstract: | Sub-Saharan Africa faces major urban challenges, so many governments of the region have responded by developing national urban policies. This article presents emerging urban-system demographic trends in Ghana by locating the analyses at the nexus of the relationship between urbanization and societal imperatives. The authors conclude by suggesting ways in which their findings can inform Ghana's national urban policies and identifying three general lessons for sub-Saharan African countries. Bibliogr., sum.
