Third World Cities is a thoroughly revised and updated edition of The Third World City :a classic introduction to urbanization in developing areas. Using case-studies of cities drawn from around the world, including Bangkok, Delhi, Manila, Mexico City, Singapore and cities in Zimbabwe, the text 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? The text goes on to analyse: * the dimension of urban growth in the third world * historical perspectives on urban growth * urban population growth * employment and incomes in the city * basic needs and human rights * environmental problems in third world cities * planning and management of cities. 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. What is different about the new edition? * it contains a greater depth of content and referencing * the new edition utilises the new larger format to make extensive use of illustrations, diagrams, global case-studies, further reading. These changes have created an extremely accessible student text * it incorporates a new chapter on the environmental/sustainability issues facing third world cities * covers the impact of globalisation on third world cities.
