Book Synopsis The City in the Developing World by : Robert B. Potter
Download or read book The City in the Developing World written by Robert B. Potter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-25 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The City in the Developing World is a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to urbanisation in developing countries. The goal of this text is to place an understanding of the developing world city in its wider global context. First, this is done by developing the concept of social surplus product as a key to understanding the character of the contemporary Third World city. Second, throughout this text, the city in developing areas is centrally placed in the context of global, social, economic, political and cultural change. Thus, the important themes of globalisation, modernity and postmodernity are examined both in relation to the structure of sets of towns and cities which make up the national or regional urban system, and in respect of ideas and concepts dealing with the morphology, structure and social patterning of individual urban areas. The City in the Developing World is a core text for second and third year undergraduates in the fields of geography, development studies, planning, economics and the social sciences, taking options which deal with development issues, development theory, gender and development and Third World development.

Book Synopsis Does Zipf's Law Hold for Primate Cities? by : Boris A. Portnov
Download or read book Does Zipf's Law Hold for Primate Cities? written by Boris A. Portnov and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According Zipf's Law, city sizes follow a Pareto distribution, with the rank (R) of a city i being proportional to its size (S): R(i)=A*S-α or ln(R) = ln(A)-α*ln(S), where α is a slope gradient or Pareto parameter, varying around 1. However, several empirical studies, carried out to date, indicate that the sizes of the first largest cities in many countries (with ranks of 1 and 2) are not exactly given to Zip's Law, but with relatively large errors. In our study, we consider the ratio between the size of the first largest city and the size of the second largest city (B-ratio) for a very large ensemble of 177 countries across the world. A surprising result of this work is that only a small number of countries (about 35%) have their B-ratios within the limits expected under Zipf's Law (B=0.4÷0.6). As we also learn from the discriminant analysis of our country-wide data, high urbanization levels are likely to reduce the gap in population sizes between the first and the second city, while the first city being the national capital is likely to widen the gap between it and its "nearest neighbor" in the national city-size distribution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in1984. Regional development planning has grown rapidly in recent years, as both an academic specialism and a focus of policy and practice. Books and articles on the subject have proliferated, and all across the Third World governments have become commited to it, setting up large new departments and even ministries. Charles Gore argues that this growing popularity of regional planning in developing countries is profoundly paradoxical.
Book Synopsis Urbanization and Growth by : Michael Spence
Download or read book Urbanization and Growth written by Michael Spence and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2008-11-26 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is productivity higher in cities? Does urbanization cause growth or does growth cause urbanization? Do countries achieve rapid growth or high incomes without urbanization? How can policy makers reap the benefits of urbanization without paying too high a cost? Does supporting urbanization imply neglecting rural areas? Why do so few governments welcome urbanization? What should governments do to improve housing conditions in cities as they urbanize? Are innovations in housing finance a blessing or a curse for developing countries? How will governments finance the trillions of dollars of infrastructure spending needed for cities in developing countries? First in a series of thematic volumes, this book was prepared for the Commission on Growth and Development to evaluate the state of knowledge of the relationship between urbanization and economic growth. It does not pretend to provide all the answers, but it does identify insights and policy levers to help countries make urbanization work as part of a national growth strategy. It examines a variety of topics: the relevance and policy implications of recent advances in urban economics for developing countries, the role of economic geography in global economic trends and trade patterns, the impacts of urbanization on spatial inequality within countries, and alternative approaches to financing the substantial infrastructure investments required in developing-country cities. Written by prominent academics in their fields, Urbanization and Growth seeks to create a better understanding of the role of urbanization in growth and to inform policy makers tackling the formidable challenges it poses.
