内容説明

This textbook offers an overview of the urban experience in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Six main issues are addressed: development theory and policy as they pertain to urbanization, rural-urban migration, urban employment structures, forms of social integration and control, the housing question, and urban politics. The urban transition now affecting Africa, Asia, and Latin America, rapid urban growth without precedence in history, and the largest mega-cities in the world have attracted the attention of scholars and policy-makers alike.
