Sinossi
This collection of essays offers an authoritative and up-to-date textbook overview of the urban experience in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The twenty-nine contributors, leading experts across the social sciences, provide twenty-four case studies grouped around six main issues: 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 book provides a comprehensive and accessible account of the burgeoning cities of the "South."
