2.2 DESCRIPTION AND RATIONALE OF PROGRAM

Although Ethiopia is one of the least urbanized countries, it is experiencing unprecedented rate of
urbanization of about 5% and towns and cities are home to about 16-18% of the country’s
population. Rapid urbanization comes with various challenges which state and local planning
authorities must deal with. Rapid urbanization exerts pressures on the goods and services provided
by state and local planning authorities. The challenges which accompany rapid urbanization include:
environmental degradation, spiralling urban poverty, food insecurity, crime, HIV/AIDS,
unemployment, slums and squatter settlements, among others. This calls for capacity-building at
federal, regional and local levels if Ethiopian cities/towns have to be managed in a sustainable way. A
country-wide survey of the disciplines offered in various public universities revealed that although
there are disciplines in built environment such as engineering, architecture, sustainable management
of cities required managers with broad background due to the diversity and complexity of urban
problems. It was, therefore, found necessary to introduce master’s course in urban management
whose nomenclature is “Master of Arts in Urban Management”
Cities in Ethiopia are facing increasingly complex challenges in an era of rapid urbanisation
and globalisation. At the same time, decentralisation is creating new opportunities for cities
to provide better services, alleviate urban poverty and position cities as engines of growth
for dependant regions. Many actors involved in urban development do so with limited
interaction and coordination. Yet, problems require innovative, multi-actor and

multidisciplinary approach. The unique feature of the Master’s Programme is the strong link
between theory and practice through the interface between applied research and practical
exposure. Participants will receive lectures in theories and concepts, tools, best practices,
Federal/Regional/Local policies, strategies and programmes, and write a thesis at the end.
The combination of advanced training methodologies and delivery by a select team of
experienced academicians and professionals will facilitate the link between theory and
practice. The Programme will enable participants:
Analyse urban challenges in order to become innovative urban managers;
Create sustainable cities and alleviate urban poverty based on a multidisciplinary
and multi-actor approach;
Enhance technical & managerial capacities of urban governments in sustainable
way;
Enhance the successful implementation of Government urban development
policies, poverty eradication strategies and programs;
Promote the success of recent urban reform programs and process of
decentralization.

3.3 MODULE 3: < URBANIZATION AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT >
3.3.1 GENERAL DATA

Module Title Urbanization and Urban Development Management
Module Description The module is one of the mandatory cluster modules hosted by IUDS.
The aim of the module is to help participants of master’s program
understand the basic core concepts of urban development studies.
These core concepts include: urban, urbanization, sustainable urban
development, and integrated and strategic urban management. It
addresses the distinguishing factors of urban areas as habitat of human
settlements as compared to rural settlements and their
interdependence. It explains from historical perspective the emergence
and growth of urban areas. It attempts to explain the following
questions: what opportunities and challenges do urban areas provide
us? What is sustainable urban development and what are its
components? What is the role of infrastructure and land development
in sustainable urban development? How can we address the challenge
of climate change? What adaptation and mitigation measures can we
have? How do we manage urban development? How can generic tools
of urban management such as policy and urban planning help us to
manage sustainable urban development?
As such the module is organized in four blocks. The first block deals on
processes of urbanization, from historical perspective, the global urban
expansion, and urban economics. The aim of this first block is to help
participants understand the process of urbanization and factors which
contribute to its expansion. It entertains two opposing views about
urban growth and expansion: one of containment policy and the other -
expansion policy. Lectures in this block are based on the book by Angel
S. (2012), Planet of Cities (Lecture videos prepared by the author are
also available). The second block focuses on infrastructure and land
development and integrated urban development management. The
third block covers basic climate change while the fourth block covers
urban development policy and urban planning. Regarding the Learning
outcomes, by the end of the module the participants will be able to:
 Explain the unique features of urban centers as habitat of

human beings , and the opportunities and challenges of
urbanization
 Appreciate the inevitable challenge of urban growth and
expansion and explain the difference between planned vs.
spontaneous expansion in the context of developing countries
 Critically analyze the challenges of urban development from
sustainability perspective
 Apply the tools of urban management to promote sustainable
urban development in their respective field of specialization in
the Ethiopian context.

3.3.3 ASSESSMENT
Description Assessment methods vary according to the nature of each block. Block I
focuses on comparison of urban expansion versus containment policy. It
is more of argument among paradigms and in fact policy choice.
Therefore debate among two groups in a class, each representing one of
the policy options would be carried. Participants would be given ample
time for preparation of the debate by making a thorough literature
search based on the four propositions of the author of the basic learning
material by Shlomo A. (2012). Participants are expected to critically
argue and internalize the plausibility of the propositions in the context
of developing countries. Block II will be of more practical nature.
Therefore the assessment method is a group project on integrated area
based development. Block III is incorporated with the intention of
mainstreaming climate change and adaptation strategies. It deals on
understanding and appreciation of an emerging agenda in the last
decade. Therefore a test will be applied as an assessment method for
Block III. Block IV covers the application of urban management tools for
promoting sustainable urban development. The final assessment though
includes the last block it is not limited to the block. It assesses how
participants understood the whole module (checking highest cognitive
skills of the learning outcome) and try to apply in their respective field
of specialization in their respective home town. The individual
assignment would be given to the participants as early as possible in the
first block so that they will have ample time to gather secondary data
and continuously develop their module paper as they gained additional
knowledge, skill, and attitude throughout the four blocks. This
culminates by assessing the highest cognitive skills of the participants.

3.4 MODULE 4: < STRATEGIC AND INTEGRATED URBAN MANAGEMENT >
3.4.1 GENERAL DATA

Module Number MUM 5011
Module Title STRATEGIC AND INTEGRATED URBAN MANAGEMENT
Module Description This module provides the participants with a package of theories, tools,
strategies, policy options and best practices that can be potentially
applied in addressing the urban management challenges that the
Ethiopian urban, regional and federal authorities are facing.
The module outlines the limitations of conventional practice for
resource-efficient and equitable solutions of urban problems in the
context of urban dynamics and uncertainties, and the need for an
integrated management approach. It presents a concept of integrated
urban management based on management theory and a systems
approach, and argues that many principles of traditional management –
such as the principles of productivity, social responsiveness and
flexibility – are equally applicable to urban management in order to
overcome these limitations.
The module of Strategic and Integrated, Urban Management is thus
aimed at providing the theoretical and practical underpinnings of urban
management principles such as, organizing, leading, staffing, and
controlling as fundamental ingredients in the urban management
fraternity.

3.5 MODULE 5: < URBAN FINANCE >
3.5.1 GENERAL DATA

Module Title Urban Finance
Module Description Cities are generally regarded as the driving force for local, regional,
national and even global economic development. This economic
attribute of urban centers to local and regional economies does not
come by as easily as it sounds, but calls for an enormous but rational
intervention involving various dimensions among which include;
political, economic and most importantly, financial input. It is the
purpose of this module to present an in-depth perspective of the role
and mechanisms of funding and finance in urban development. In order
for cities to play their leading role in the economies and sustainable
development of regions and nations, they must be economically and
financially competitive in order to generate the necessary and adequate
economic growth momentum to sustain the development needs of the
society. It is on the basis of the optimum utilization of the available
factors of production that the much needed but scarce financial
resources are mobilized to support the local, regional and national
authorities’ development programs and projects for sustainability.
The module of Urban Finance is thus aimed at providing the theoretical

and practical underpinnings of finance as fundamental ingredients in
urban development studies. The fact that urban centers are
convergence zones for an unlimited amount and variety of human
needs and wants, whilst the supply of resources and opportunities is
scarce (finite), calls for a consistent but highly rational input of
economic and financial resources. This module provides the participants
a package of theories, tools, strategies, policy options and best practices
that can be potentially applied in addressing the financial and economic
challenges that the Ethiopian urban, regional and federal authorities are
facing.
