Description

As the global population shifts toward urban environments, understanding the rapid growth of megacities becomes a necessity. This longitudinal study by Routledge examines the social formation of Dhaka between 1985 and 2005, providing a deep look into the characteristics of a Third World megacity. With more than half of the world's population expected to live in cities by the middle of the twenty-first century, much of this growth is concentrated in Asia and Africa. This book addresses the urgent need for academic research that explores how urban institutions and societies function amidst challenges like poverty, environmental degradation, and crime. This work serves as an essential resource for those studying the complexities of urban development and the socio-economic structures of developing nations. It offers a detailed perspective on how cities evolve and the specific pressures faced by governments trying to provide basic services and security to their growing urban populations.
