Cities in the Developing World: Issues, Theory, and Policy
psychology, and sociology--offer general reviews and case studies, many comparative in time or space.
While Gugler's earlier collection is arranged by region, this book is organized in terms of the principal issues in urbanization: development theory and policy, rural-to-urban migration, urban employment structures, forms of social integration and control, the housing question, and the local and
national politics played out in the urban arena. Cities of the Developing World offers much to those interested in the research of burgeoning cities, as well as those curious about how such research can best be reported, evaluated, and examined.
