Hardoy, Jorge Enrique |
Satterthwaite, David |
This book challenges many common assumptions about the urban Third World -- for example that urban citizens live in very large cities and that cities are growing rapidly, or that city dwellers benefit from 'urban bias' in government and aid policies. It is about the lives of the 'squatter citizens' and th eproblems they face in their struggle for survival.
