People are displaced by development projects, whether roads, rail transportation, water supply, dams and many other projects. While such projects can bring both benefit and costs on the community in the country. Accordingly, this paper intends to examine the urban development induced displacement and its consequences in Ethiopia. The paper used a detailed literature reviews in order to get adequate data.
