About this ebook
Slum Development Patterns explores why informal settlements persist despite urban planning efforts.
The book examines the socio-economic and political factors driving slum development, arguing it's a predictable outcome of specific conditions, not a random occurrence.
It's crucial for understanding urban poverty, migration patterns, and housing policy, especially in the developing world where rapid urbanization fuels the growth of these settlements.
One intriguing insight is how inadequate land tenure security often exacerbates the problem.
