Description

This innovative work by David Smith examines the political economy of uneven urbanisation in developing countries, linking neighbourhood-level conditions to broader economic and political forces. Smith places these connections within a historical framework and employs case study methodology to analyse urban development patterns. The book addresses the urban revolution occurring across the world's underdeveloped nations, offering insight into how global economic systems shape city growth and inequality. Written by David A. Smith, a sociology professor at the University of California at Irvine, this study provides essential reading for understanding how international capital flows, policy decisions and structural factors influence urban expansion and social conditions in the Global South.

The work addresses the urban revolution occurring across underdeveloped countries, examining the causes and consequences of rapid urbanisation.
