Volume II: MEGA-CITIES Mega-Cities presents an in-depth analysis of
ten cities, prepared by noted scholars who have lived and studied
in the cities under scrutiny. This volume covers the role giant
cities play in their regions, successes and failures of their
public policy, and their most pressing political and environmental
problems. "Unlike Volume I, Volume II presents a comparative
problems-oriented description of urbanization using ten of the
largest cities in the world. This is a wonderful compliment to the
first volume in which conceptual frameworks of urbanization were
utilized in describing the urban dynamics of specific cities. In
again selecting studies by leading scholars of cities
representative of all the world's regions, the editors have
produced in both volumes a remarkably successful comparative
analysis of world urbanization. . . . Without question, the editors
have contributed enormously to the literature on comparative world
urbanization, an area in which there is still much to do. . . .
This volume and its companion are invaluable resources and
inspirations to all those who have an interest in the urban
dynamics in this rapidly changing world. Cross cultural analysis is
no easy accomplishment, but the editors and the authors have done
it successfully and the community of urban scholars is indebted to
them." --Journal of Developing Societies
