Methodology
Quantitative urban classification for malaria epidemiology in sub-Saharan Africa Jose G Siri, Kim A Lindblade, Daniel H Rosen, Bernard Onyango, John Vulule, Laurence Slutsker, Mark L Wilson Malaria Journal 2008, 7:34 (25 February 2008) Cluster analysis techniques were used to classify Kisumu, Kenya, into levels of urbanization in a repeatable and unbiased manner, an approach that should permit more relevant comparisons among and within urban areas.

Michael A Sattler, Deo Mtasiwa, Michael Kiama, Zul Premji, Marcel Tanner, Gerry F Killeen, Christian Lengeler Malaria Journal 2005, 4:4 (14 January 2005) Urban populations in Africa are set to rise inexorably over the coming decades, with a greater proportion of the populations living within cities and conurbations and an increase of urban agriculture in some cities. It is suggested that urban malaria is likely to become increasingly important.
