This collection of essays offers an empirical analysis of development in Ciudad Juárez, with an emphasis on the social and spatial contexts in which economic relations occur. The analyses are framed by a general discussion of urbanization, migration, and industrialization, considered in light of the history of Mexico's northern frontier. Contributors recount the city's pattern of urban growth in response to the natural environment and the changing national culture and examine current patterns of land use, especially as compared to similar development in other Latin American cities. Other issues considered are the impact on household activities of the structure of women's participation in the maquiladora work force; the city's use of its human resources, especially in off-shore assembly activities; and the foreign orientation of the Juárez economy.Westview special studies on Latin America and the Caribbean.UrbanizationMexicoCiudad JuárezLand useMexicoCiudad JuárezWomen offshore assembly industry workersMexicoCiudad JuárezEconomic conditionsCiudad Juárez (Mexico)Economic conditionsCiudad Juárez (Mexico)Social conditionsUrbanizationLand useWomen offshore assembly industry workersEconomic conditions.330.97216Young Gay1704246OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910827032603321The Social Ecology And Economic Development Of Ciudad Juarez4090083UNINA
