Managing rapid urban growth presents a significant challenge in the
small independent countries of the Pacific Islands. Although they
originated in colonial times, the towns and cities are now
distinctively post-colonial, with economies, environments and
social structures that reflect unique island characteristics. This
transformation has stimulated new concerns, such as the causes and
effects of pollution, the need for employment for landless
migrants, the need for adequate and affordable housing and the
financing of expanding urban services. This book explores the
diversity of the urban experience in the ten independent island
states, focusing on strategies to secure long term sustainable
development.
