Editing Addis Ababa (section)

====Post-Italian occupation (1941–1974)====
In the aftermath, Addis Ababa suffered from economic stagnation and rapid population growth, the inner-city affected by urban morphology initiated by Italian occupation and the peripheral area were in urban sprawl. In 1946, Haile Selassie invited famous British master planner Sir [[Patrick Abercrombie]] with goals of modelling and beautifying the city to become the capital for Africa. By this organizing model, Abercrombie launched the master plan with neighborhood units surrounded by green parkways, and he was encouraged to draw [[ring road]]s characterized by radial shapes to channel traffic pathway from the central area.<ref name=":4" />

His careful master plan of a major traffic route was completed by segregating neighborhood units, as he extracted from his 1943 [[London]] traffic problem. In 1959, the British consultant team named Bolton Hennessy and Partners commissioned an improvement of Abercrombie's 1954–1956 satellite towns. From the place, they did not incorporated outer area like Mekenissa and West of the old Air Port in the proposal, while Rapi, Gefersa, [[Akaky Kaliti|Kaliti]] and Kotebe proposed as outlet of [[Jimma]], [[Ambo, Oromia|Ambo]] and [[Dessie]] respectively (the four regional highways). The Hennessy and Partners illustration would be physically larger to current size of Addis Ababa with surrounded [[Satellite city|satellite towns]]. In 1965, the French Mission for Urban Studies and Habitat led by [[Luis De Marien]] launched another master plan responsible to create monumental axis through [[Addis Ababa City Hall]] with an extension across Gofa Mazoria in the southern part of the city.  Marien's difference to the previous Italian master plan was the use of single [[Monumental Axis|monumental axis]] while they used the double one.<ref name=":4" />

Haile Selassie also helped to form the [[Organisation of African Unity]] in 1963, which was later dissolved in 2002 and replaced by the [[African Union]] (AU), which is also headquartered in the city, airports and industrial parks. The [[United Nations Economic Commission for Africa]] founded in 1958, also has its headquarters in Addis Ababa. Addis Ababa was also the site of the Council of the Oriental Orthodox Churches in 1965. Pankhurst (1962) noted in a survey of total land of 212 square kilometers, 58% owned by 1,768, owing to 10,000 square meters, and 12% were given to church whereas other small areas were still acquired in the name of posthumous nobilities such as ''Dejazemach'' [[Wube Haile Mariam]], ''Fitawrari'' Aba Koran, and a bridge named "Fitawrari Habtegiorgis" after [[Habte Giyorgis Dinagde]].<ref name=":3">{{Cite book |last1=Alemayehu |first1=Elias Yitbarek |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=E9l9DwAAQBAJ&q=addis+ababa+history |title=The Transformation of Addis Ababa: A Multiform African City |last2=Stark |first2=Laura |date=2018-11-30 |publisher=Cambridge Scholars Publishing |isbn=978-1-5275-2272-5 |language=en |access-date=31 May 2022 |archive-date=4 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230704145437/https://books.google.com/books?id=E9l9DwAAQBAJ&q=addis+ababa+history |url-status=live }}</ref> According to the 1965 master plan, the city covered an area of 21,000 hectares and would increase to 51,000 hectares by 1984 master plan.<ref name=":4">{{Cite journal |last=Tufa |first=Dandena |date=2008 |title=Historical Development of Addis Ababa: plans and realities |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/41967609 |journal=Journal of Ethiopian Studies |volume=41 |issue=1/2 |pages=27–59 |jstor=41967609 |issn=0304-2243 |access-date=19 July 2021 |archive-date=19 July 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210719135031/https://www.jstor.org/stable/41967609 |url-status=live }}</ref>

In 1965, the first student march took place in response to the feudal imperial government of Haile Selassie, in which they chanted "Land for the Tiller", culminating in a [[Marxist–Leninist]] movement in Ethiopia. In addition, the [[1973 oil crisis]] heavily impacted the city. 1,500 peasants in Addis Ababa marched to plead for food to be returned by police, and intellectual from [[Addis Ababa University]] forced the government to take a measure against the spreading famine, a report which Haile Selassie government denounced as "fabrication". Haile Selassie responded later "rich and poor have always existed and will, Why? Because there are those that work...and those that prefer to do nothing...Each individual is responsible for his misfortunes, his fate." Students around the city gathered to protest in February 1974; eventually Haile Selassie was successfully deposed from office in 1974 by a group of police officers. Later, the group named themselves [[Derg]], officially "Provisional Military Administrative Council" (PMAC).<ref>{{Citation |last=Kumar |first=B.
