- catalog abstract ""What is the effect of increasing urbanisation in Third World countries? Third World Cities represents a thoroughly revised and updated version of a classic text which examines urbanisation in developing areas. Using case studies of cities drawn from around the world, including Bangkok, Delhi, Manila, Mexico City, Singapore and Harare, David Drakakis-Smith confronts three main questions: is there still a Third World, does it have a common urban form and what is the relationship between urbanisation and sustainability? Starting with a discussion on whether there is still a Third World, the author goes on to analyse: colonial cities, urban population growth, the urban environment, employment and incomes in the city, basic needs and human rights, planning and management." "Containing a wealth of student-friendly features including boxed case studies, discussion questions and guides for further reading, this text provides an invaluable introduction to the issues and processes of the city in the Third World."--Jacket.".
