Resource information
This study responds to the need for
information and analysis on the urban sector in Sudan, to
inform the Bank's policy dialogue with the Government
of Sudan (GoS) on urban and local government issues, and to
inform the design of future Bank assistance. The first phase
of this analytical exercise, which is the focus of this
report, develops an overview of the urban landscape. The
report is structured as follows: section two describes the
evolution of the spatial system in Sudan and highlights key
urbanization patterns and trends; section three provides an
overview of the legal, institutional and financial
composition of Sudan's urban areas; and section 80
outlines the key policy issues and recommendations. The
report also draws on in-depth case studies of Nyala and
Khartoum, which are included as annexes to the report.
