Much rare material is incorporated in this unique account of
urbanization in a developing country that was ravaged by war for
twenty years. With due emphasis on the experience of Hanoi and Ho
Chi Minh City (Saigon), the authors present an account of what
happened to the towns and cities of Vietnam between the
establishment of Ho Chi Minh's socialist state in 1954 and the mid
1980s. The story is introduced through a general theoretical and
empirical account of urbanization in socialist Third World
countries. The book stresses the importance of the turmoil created
by warfare in directing urbanization, but it also refers to the
more conventially studied determinants of the process such as the
institution of a planned economy. As one of the few books
highlighting the impact of warfare on urban settlements, The Price
of War will interest all those interested in urbanization,
development and South-East Asia. This book was first published in
1986.
