The article titled "The Development Complex, Rural Economy, and Urban-Spatial and Economic Development in Juba, South Sudan" explores the swift urbanization and economic progression of Juba, the capital of South Sudan, since 2005. It introduces the notion of "Development Complex-Driven Urbanization," underlining the impact of international organizations and foreign investments on Juba's urban and economic metamorphosis. The authors highlight challenges such as infrastructure deficits, economic inequality, and spatial fragmentation. By synthesizing reports, satellite imagery, and firsthand experiences, they offer valuable insights into Juba's evolving urban dynamics. They also propose recommendations for inclusive urban planning and development, emphasizing the importance of these aspects in land governance and tenure security.
