Abstract: In the context of the debate between Belsky and Karaska, who advocate a location-allocation approach to rural development, and Rondinelli, who argues for a functional integration approach, this article adds an element neglected by both, the impact of land division on the development of urban systems. Urban development in Kenya between 1962 and 1989 was greatly affected by the division of land. A case study from South Africa demonstrates that Kenya's experience may be applicable elsewhere.
