Infrastructural development in Africa by use of suitable construction approaches

  • The construction sector generally shows a great contribution to socio-economic development in Africa, and has particularly enhanced the continent's employment sector over the last few years. The African concrete construction sector is quite different when compared to its European and/or American counterparts. Modem infrastructural development exists in many urban cities in Africa, but this is at variance with rural areas, which tend to have little or no basic amenities such as sound road networks, solid and affordable shelter, and potable water. A large percentage of the construction activities are observed through the informal construction sector which mainly constitutes of cheap labour. This paper gives a basic introduction into the necessities for infrastructural development in Africa with focus on the construction sector. The paper addresses the practised construction activities based on the informal construction sector as well as suggests sustainable construction approachesThe construction sector generally shows a great contribution to socio-economic development in Africa, and has particularly enhanced the continent's employment sector over the last few years.

This paper gives a basic introduction into the necessities for infrastructural development in Africa with focus on the construction sector. The paper addresses the practised construction activities based on the informal construction sector as well as suggests sustainable construction approaches sufficient for the African rural communities to benefit from the available economy. A better understanding of this sector is required which can help improve the existing methods of construction rather than adopt the construction techniques observed from the developed countries.zeige mehrzeige weniger
