A Study on History of Early Modern Town Planning of Banjul

摘要

From a military fort to a city by the British for the resolution of building a military fort for the clampdown of the slave trade, the modern urbanization of Banjul is a self-determination course beneath the inspiration of British Town Planning Theory. This paper discusses briefly the historic progress of physical planning development scene in Banjul. It offers some visions into the features of pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial planning contexts in Banjul. The argument in this paper is the serious city administration problem and planning which has continuously exhibited unpredictability, disintegration and an absenteeism of perceptible city commitment.
