Customer review:
The collection of essays analyze urban transition in Nigeria from the 1950s to the end of the twentieth century. It's a welcome contribution to urban history and the selection sequentially explain various urban policies, the politics, and government and non-governmental role. The editor should have adopt a unified bibliographical outline and referencing. I recommend it to students and readers generally. - Stephanie Jerger
