Some observations on orderly development in an emerging city
Abstract Recent expression on the differences and similarities between cities in developed and emerging nations has perpetuated the notion that rural-urban migrants simply wander into cities of developing countries without purpose and that their pattern of settlement is unsystematic, and furthermore that they have little chance of significantly improving their economic status. This paper undertakes to determine whether some order is apparent in Accra, Ghana--an emerging city that is perhaps typical of other expanding cities in developing countries. Analysis of population density gradient and upward mobility among the masses, and employment of regression analysis are used to establish whether order exists in Accra's development process. The results indicate that settlement patterns appear to be in accordance with patterns observed in developed nations and upward mobility in the city appears to be substantial.
