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.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAGGLOMERATION ECONOMIESAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONARCHITECTUREARMED CONFLICTBASIC SOCIAL SERVICESCAPACITY BUILDINGCENSUSESCITIZENSCITY POPULATIONCIVIL WARCOLONIZATIONCOMMUNITIESCONFLICT SETTINGSDEMOGRAPHIC TRENDSDEVELOPMENT PLANSDIVORCEDRINKING WATERECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC INTEGRATIONECONOMIC OPPORTUNITYELECTRICITY CONNECTIONSEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATIONENVIRONMENTAL SANITATIONEQUALITYFAMILY MEMBERSFERTILITYFERTILITY RATESFOOD SUPPLIESFORMERLY RURAL AREASGOVERNMENT CAPACITYGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHABITATHEALTH EDUCATIONHEALTH SERVICESHOMESHOUSINGHOUSING CENSUSHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN SETTLEMENTSIMMIGRATIONINCOME-GENERATING ACTIVITIESINDUSTRIALIZATIONINFORMAL ENTERPRISESINFORMAL SETTLEMENTSINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTINHABITANTSINHERITANCEINSECURE TENUREINTERNAL MIGRANTSINTERNATIONAL TREATIESLACK OF SECURITYLAND MARKETSLAND POLICIESLAND REGISTRATIONLAND RIGHTSLAND TENURELAND USELAND USE REGULATIONSLARGE CITIESLARGE URBAN AREASLEGAL TITLELEGISLATIVE BODIESLEVEL OF DEVELOPMENTLITERACY RATESLIVELIHOOD OPPORTUNITIESLIVELIHOOD STRATEGIESLIVING CONDITIONSLIVING STANDARDSLOCAL AUTHORITIESLOCAL GOVERNMENTLOCAL GOVERNMENTSLOCALITIESLOSS OF LANDLOW INCOMEMAJOR CITIESMANDATESMETROPOLITAN AREAMIGRANTSMIGRATIONMOTHERMUNICIPAL BUDGETSMUNICIPAL FINANCENATIONAL BORDERSNATIONAL CONSTITUTIONNATIONAL COUNCILNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTNATIONAL EXPENDITURESNATIONAL GOVERNMENTNATIONAL LEVELNATIONAL LEVELSNATIONAL POPULATIONNATIONALSNATURAL POPULATIONNATURAL RESOURCESNEW SETTLEMENTSNEW TOWNSNUMBER OF PEOPLEOPPORTUNITIES IN URBAN AREASPEACEPENSIONSPERIPHERAL AREASPESTICIDESPHYSICAL PLANNINGPLACES OF ORIGINPOLICY DIALOGUEPOLICY IMPLICATIONSPOLICY MAKERSPOLITICAL INSTABILITYPOLLUTIONPOLLUTION CONTROLPOPULATION DENSITYPOPULATION DIVISIONPOPULATION EXPERTSPOPULATION GROWTHPOPULATION GROWTH RATEPOPULATION GROWTH RATESPOPULATION INCREASEPOPULATION INCREASESPOPULATION PROJECTIONSPOPULATION SIZEPOPULATION STATISTICSPOTABLE WATERPOVERTY RATESPRIMATE CITYPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC AFFAIRSPUBLIC AMENITIESPUBLIC FACILITIESPUBLIC SERVICESPUBLIC TRANSPORTPULL FACTORSPUSH FACTORSRAPID POPULATION GROWTHRAPID URBANIZATIONRATES OF GROWTHRATES OF URBANIZATIONRECREATIONREFUGEERESETTLEMENTRESPECTRESTRICTION OF IMMIGRATIONRETURNEESRURAL AREASRURAL POPULATIONRURAL POPULATIONSRURAL PRODUCTIVITYRURAL RESIDENTSSANITATIONSANITATION PROGRAMSCHOOL ATTENDANCESECONDARY CITIESSERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE PROVISIONSKILLS DEVELOPMENTSLUMSSMALL CITIESSOCIAL AFFAIRSSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL EXCLUSIONSOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURESOCIAL SERVICESSOCIAL STRUCTURESSOCIAL WELFARESOLID WASTE COLLECTIONSOLID WASTE DISPOSALSOLID WASTE SERVICESSQUATTERSQUATTER SETTLEMENTSSQUATTERSSTATE GOVERNMENTSSTATE LANDSUBDIVISIONSSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTTENURE SECURITYTENURE STATUSTOWNSHIPSTRADITIONAL LIVELIHOODTRANSPORTATIONURBANURBAN AGGLOMERATIONSURBAN AREASURBAN AUTHORITIESURBAN CENTREURBAN DESIGNURBAN DEVELOPMENTURBAN DWELLERSURBAN ECONOMIESURBAN ECONOMYURBAN ENVIRONMENTSURBAN GROWTHURBAN HEALTHURBAN HOUSEHOLDSURBAN INFRASTRUCTUREURBAN ISSUESURBAN LANDURBAN MANAGEMENTURBAN NEIGHBORHOODSURBAN PLANNINGURBAN PLANSURBAN POLICIESURBAN POLICYURBAN POORURBAN POPULATIONURBAN POPULATION GROWTHURBAN POPULATIONSURBAN POVERTYURBAN RESIDENTSURBAN SECTORURBAN SETTLEMENTURBAN SETTLEMENTSURBAN TRANSPORTURBANIZATIONURBANIZINGVILLAGESVULNERABILITYWARWATER SERVICESWATER SUPPLYWORLD POPULATIONWORLD URBANIZATIONWorld Bank10.1596/12345
