Population expansion, the migration of new peole and disparities between cities and suburbs are longstanding features of the urban crisis. Today, city governments also face demands for popular participation and better public services while they struggle to position themselves in the world economy. While each of the cities is located in its unique historical setting, the emphasis of the book is upon the common dilemmas raised by major planning problems and the search for more suitable approaches to governance and citizen involvement. 4aCities and towns - Growth 4aCity planning  a10336/MKRI-P/XI-2008  a10337/MKRI-P/XI-2008
