Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. Majority of the world s population is now living in urban areas and the urban population is growing at a higher rate than the rural population. Large scale urbanization in developing countries continues to support squatting and informal settlement in large c…ities. While some urban regimes have been able to halt or reverse this process, it continues in most countries. The cases examined in this book illustrate the extent of the problem and the variety of efforts being made to mitigate it. Although slums have a symbiotic relationship with the city, slums and informal settlements in most cities suffer from extreme inequalities and are deprived of basic services which are essential for human existence. Housing is predominantly a basic problem of the urban poor. If sustainable policies with respect to housing can be derived and implemented, the poor in the developing world will experience a significant improvement in their living standards. Some of the challenges facing the future of housing for the urban poor in developing countries are outlined in the book. An attempt has also been made to summarize and spell out the implications of the World Bank s model shift to the privatization of housing for the poor. Chapters in this book illustrate the profound but varied transformation taking place in the social organization of societies in regard to housing in general and housing the urban poor, in particular. The contributions in the book review myriad case studies from developing societies across continents. It further compares several societies at once in terms of their strategies and cultural orientations towards providing housing for the poor. It is through studies like those presented in this volume that progress toward finding a solution to the housing challenge can be made.

Towards the end of the twentieth century city reemerged as a unit of analysis and globalization as an important context for analyzing social transformation and dynamics shaping the society. A city is the site where micro and macro social processes and global and local contexts can be articulated and observed. Urbanologists and social scientists have so far focused on those cities which have been greatly benefited by globalization. A lot of literature has come about on the cities in the developed countries but cities in the developing countries have not been studied much. These cities are not global but globalizing cities. The present book anthologizes various aspects of segregation in globalizing cities of ten developing countries of Africa Asia and Latin America which have been differently affected by globalization. Social issues at stake may be common to the developing countries yet the global contexts may have different connotations and consequences in the local structures. The main objective of this anthology is to study the socio spatial segregation and inequalities that have emerged in such globalizing cities under the impact of globalization forces and local social structure. 422 pp.

Urbanization got an impetus during 1980s and 1990s due to advances in transportation and telecommunication and further momentum was provided by globalization. During this period many Asian Countries experienced both economic boom and population increase. UN HABITAT (2006) pointed out that Asia and Africa will host largest urban population in twenty first century and cities will continue to be sites of extreme inequality. It is feared that Asian cities may not be able to cope with the ongoing urbanization and urbanization of poverty further adds to the challenges. This edited volume addresses to the challenges thrown by urban poverty for sustainable cities in developing countries and also presents some strategies adopted in these countries to deal with these challenges. The volume contains seventeen articles which are divided into three sections. Sections I entitled Urban Poverty in Developing Countries Some Issues contains five articles dealing with urban poverty and delineates certain issues related to it. Section II entitled Urban Poverty in India Empirical Reality contains five articles which present the empirical situation of urban poverty in India. Section III entitled Urban Poverty and Strategies for Sustainable Cities anthologizes seven articles dealing with some strategies to grapple with the problem of urban poverty in developing countries and the outcome of these efforts. All these efforts to achieve sustainable cities are not producing desired results. Cities cannot be sustainable if rural areas neighborhoods and communities are not sustainable. So focus must shift to these settlements as well. 414 pp.
