Abstract

There is an increasing demand for good urban governance by city residents all over sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). This chapter traces the historical background of land issues in the region in response to the growing quest for “good governance” in urban land affairs. It critiques current and past urban governance approaches in past decades and synthesises the main objectives of the SDGs and the NUA to propose a good governance approach to land issues in sub-Saharan cities. A case study of land-related governance issues in Windhoek (Namibia) suggests how a good governance approach can be applied and advocates city autonomy in managing challenges. Local self-governance of cities (with less interference from national and regional governments) would allow city administrators and their residents to develop visions and implement activities to fulfil the specific needs of their city through land-based methods.
