About Central America Urbanization Review: Making Cities Work for Central America (Directions in Development) (Directions in Development: Countries and Regions)

Central America is undergoing an important transition. Urban populations are increasing at accelerated speeds, bringing pressing challenges for development, as well as opportunities to boost sustained, inclusive, and resilient growth. Today, 59 percent of the region s population lives in urban areas, but it is expected that 7 out of 10 people will live in cities within the next generation. At current rates of urbanization, Central America s urban population will double in size by 2050, welcoming over 25 million new urban dwellers, an influx that necessitates better infrastructure, higher coverage and quality of urban services, and greater employment opportunities. With more people concentrated in urban areas, Central American governments at the national and local levels face both opportunities and challenges to ensure the prosperity of their country s present and future generations. The Central America Urbanization Making Cities Work for Central America provides a better understanding of the trends and implications of urbanization in the six Central American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama and the actions that central and local governments can take to reap the intended benefits of this transformation. The book makes recommendations on how urban policies can contribute to addressing the main development challenges the region currently faces such as a lack of social inclusion, high vulnerability to natural disasters, and a lack of economic opportunities and competitiveness. Specifically, the book focuses on four priority areas for Central American institutions for city management, access to adequate and well-located housing, resilience to natural disasters, and competitiveness through local economic development. This book will be of particular interest to national and local policy makers, private sector actors, civil society, researchers, and development partners in Central America and around the world who are interested in learning more about the opportunities that urbanization brings in the 21st century.
