“…People are better off if they have more control over resources; we might consider one's wellbeing as control over commodities in general. We may also consider having access to a certain class of consumption goods (like food or housing) which makes those who have the necessary skills happy [32] With a population of around 472 million people living in urban areas, Africa is thought to be the region of the world that is urbanizing at the fastest rate [34]. Sub-Saharan Africa's growing urbanization has repercussions for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 11, which focuses on creating sustainable cities and communities and supplying excellent and affordable public housing.…”

The study analyzed the impact of urban planning on reducing household poverty in Uganda. It found that both negative and positive factors significantly influence household poverty. The study also identified five key factors that contribute to household poverty: social services, research and development, employment, and investment. The findings suggest that urban planners should align their policies with government policies when allocating resources to reduce poverty caused by unplanned urbanization. The study recommends that urban planners work to improve the quality of life for households in Uganda.

Rural areas are not only faced with the problems of rural depopulation but also with the problem of water supply and water quality which is a basic necessity of life. In light of this, this paper assesses the rural water supply situation and the bacteriological quality of different water sources in the Obokun Local Government Area of Osun State, Nigeria. The safety of the water sources for human consumption and possible occurrence of the water borne diseases in the study area were determined. The study employed descriptive and analytical methods of data analysis to achieve the objectives of the inquiry. Findings showed that the study area suffered from inadequate water supply and poor locations of the sources of water: The study also revealed that the microbiological quality of the water sources used was unsafe, poor and not acceptable for human consumption. In addition, many man- days-hours were wasted in search of water. It is therefore recommended that the government should make the rural water supply and the maintenance of water quality a priority in its policy formulation.
