Cities in Transformation: The Urban Squatter Proble of the Developing World
This is a book on a subject of great and urgent importance, upon which too little serious publication has appeared. Increas- ing and uncontrolled urbanization is causing fundamental and revolutionary changes in the politics and ideology of many countries in the developing world the sociological disorder evident in the urban squatter problem of these emerging nations is un- doubtedly one of the principal causes of world unrest today, transcending the classical basis of war, famine, and revolu- tion.
The problem of urban squatting and its effects are brought to light and identified in this report on a situation which has now reached emergency proportions. Cities in Transformation is an important book by a man who has had unique access to his subject matter through his work as Hous- ing and Planning Adviser with the United Nations, especially in Manila and Rio de Janeiro. Morris Juppenlatz is a qualified town-planner, and during his time with the United Nations he has travelled widely and studied at first hand and through a series of related reports the conditions discussed in this book.
