Description
With the rapid growth of large cities throughout the Third World, the study of urban planning has become increasingly important. This informative collection of readings, many written for this volume, brings together work by some of the leading authorities in the fields of urban geography and the sociology of development planning. Addressing key issues in urban planning, these papers consider migration and the growth and control of urban populations, the labor market and unemployment, housing and squatting, social and political organization, and many other topics.
