Reviews
'This volume offers a clear, informative and readable introduction to urban centres and urbanisation with a focus on the global South. The breadth of its coverage and engaging narrative style will make it essential reading for those who want to be informed about the realities of urban development and its challenges. The authors summarise the evolution of debates about what is happening, why it is happening, and what might be done. A rich engagement with existing literature and detailed references support opportunities for further reading and challenge readers to reach their own conclusion.' Professor Diana Mitlin, Global Urban Research Centre , University of Manchester, UK
