Edited by Gerald Breese, this anthology assembles some of the most incisive academic voices of its era, examining how cities in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East are reshaping themselves under the pressures of rapid population growth, migration, and post-colonial nation-building. The volume addresses the central tension between the inherited structures of pre-industrial urban life and the relentless forces of modernisation, illustrating how these competing forces produce environments of striking inequality and extraordinary vitality.\n\nBreese brings together contributions that argue for a multidisciplinary approach to understanding urbanisation — drawing on sociology, economics, geography, and political science to paint a comprehensive portrait of city life in flux. The collection stands as an essential reference point in the fields of urban studies and development theory, cementing its status as a foundational academic text for anyone seeking to understand the social and spatial dynamics of the twentieth-century developing world. Whether you are a student of urban planning, a policy professional, or a curious reader, this volume raises questions about cities and their futures that remain as urgent and unresolved today as when they were first posed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203346440411,"sku":"2026200013375-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/02b0da64-a634-4df1-8d7c-60c7cdbb14a1.png?v=1788147901","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013375-secondhand-the-city-in-newly-developing-countries-readings-on-urbanism-and-urbanization","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
