City futures confronting the crisis of urban development

The 'mega-cities' of the developing world are home to over 10 million people each and even smaller cities are experiencing unprecedented population surges. The problems surrounding this influx of people - slums, poverty, unemployment and lack of governance - have been well-documented. This book is a powerful indictment of the current consensus on how to deal with these challenges.

  • "This work is an attack on the current consensus on how to deal with the problems of mass urbanization, such as slums and poverty. Pieterse argues that the current 'shelter for all' and 'urban good governance' policies treat only the symptoms, not the causes of the problem, and calls for a reinvigoration of civil society."
