THE ROLE OF CITY AUTHORITIES IN CONTRIBUTING TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF URBAN SLUMS IN GHANA by R.S King, O. Amponsah

“…Thus, access to basic life-sustaining utilities is limited and unplanned resulting in losses to the utility companies due to illegal tapping of such services. The paper concludes that where coordination among the city authorities is weak and regulations are inflexible, the development of slums is very fast and at an unprecedented rate, as is observed in the three informal settlements studied. …”
