Analyzing Urban Poverty: GIS in the Developing World


Add your own review!

Overview

Squatter developments are without infrastructure, dense with dwellings without ownership, and built from materials at hand. Yet they house more than one-third of the urban population in developing countries and are valued by residents. Analyzing Urban Poverty: GIS in the Developing World demonstrates how GIS technology can be used to improve the quality of life in poor urban areas. With 30 years of experience using GIS to manage urban problems in Venezuelan barrios, the authors describe how they developed sustainable solutions that go beyond conventional planning programs.
