International Handbook of Urban Policy, Volume 3

Edited by H. S. Geyer

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This important Handbook reveals that most urban growth takes place in the less developed world and much of it represents over-urbanization – that is, urbanization in which most migrants cannot effectively compete for employment, cannot find adequate shelter and do not have the means to feed themselves properly. Yet, compared to rural poverty, urban poverty is widely regarded as the lesser of the two evils.
