Urbanization is a key process in developing countries. Within the
next decade over 50 per cent of the world's population will inhabit
urban areas and the majority of this growth is concentrated in
developing countries. Analysing data for four large countries, this
volume focuses on the relationship between economic change and
urban growth. Specifically the authors examine the continued growth
of industrial employment at the expense of the agricultural sector,
the impact of government-controlled regional and industrial policy
and the role of migration in response to employment opportunities.
There are also important chapters on government responses to the
lack of basic infrastructure, and the resulting negative impact on
human welfare, in the cities. The volume's coherence results from
the cross-country comparisons made by the authors and the
conclusions that are not geographically restricted but have
potential applications, by urban planners, in all developing
countries.
