Zambia’sZambia urban population, estimated at almost 45%, is growing rapidly resulting in uncontrolled development,Development especially in peri-urbanPeri-urban areas. This chapter explores sustainabilitySustainabilityof urban planningUrban planning practice in developing country situations. In particular, the study examines first, the background of urban developmentUrban Development in the country and its spatial distribution and association with population and economic growth. Secondly, the chapter examines post-independence urbanUrban development with its concomitant rural–urban migrationMigration of population, relatively high urban growthUrban growth rates and urban sprawl. The chapter is cognizant that developmentsDevelopment in most of the rapidly growing citiesCitiesin ZambiaZambia have typically been informal and uncoordinated in low-density areas and swallowing up surrounding rural land. The chapter also examines the integrated development planningIntegrated Development Planning (IDP) approach currently promulgated as a solution to most planning ills. Thus, the chapter explores sustainabilitySustainability of current urban planningUrban planning approaches, with respect to satisfying social, economic and environmental developmentDevelopment needs of people and in countering urban sprawlUrban Sprawl. The chapter uses geospatial analysis of past, present and future trends of urban sprawl in Kitwe the largest city in the Copperbelt Province, to contextualise the understanding of urban sprawlUrban Sprawl and sustainable urban developmentUrban Development policies in ZambiaZambia.
