Abstract
Industrialisation has been identified as the mechanism by which the necessary increase in capital accumulation and investment rates takes place, enabling the shift to self-sustaining development. This broadly accepted theory of the function of industrialisation focuses on the national framework and the expanding economic sectors. On the other hand, it is also measured in ways other than through national economic indicators. It is both a cause and a result of urbanisation. This paper begins by examining the inception of industrialisation and its subsequent expansion throughout the continent, ultimately proliferating globally. This study strives to provide appropriate information about how the development of industrial sectors affects the urban fabric and, as a result, influences the planning road maps of the authorities, driven by certain significant case studies from various countries.
