Abstract

Urbanization is a global phenomenon, with over five billion people expected to reside in urban areas by 2025. [1] With rapid urbanization, public services in urban centres are struggling to keep pace with the needs of their growing populations. Rural migration is an important driver of rapid urbanization, with the large majority of recent migrants settling in poor urban settlements that constitute almost one third of the urban population.
