Originally published in 1979. In this forcefully argued book,
Milton Santos shows that contemporary explanations of urbanization
and spatial organization in underdeveloped countries are
inadequate. This failure is attributable to their origins in
theories elaborated to explain the development of advanced Western
societies. Santos' work provides the basis for the new theory which
is so badly needed. He describes the urban economy in these
countries in terms of two circuits of activity - an upper circuit
consisting of those enterprises and structures which are based on
modern technology and are oriented towards the advanced capitalist
world, and a lower circuit comprised of more traditional processes
and forms of exchange. The dialectical interaction of these two
circuits is seen to generate the patterns of growth, forms of State
intervention and, above all, the spatial organization
characteristic of Third World economies. This was a revision and
translation of L'Espace Partage (1975).
