The books in this series de-bunk myths and raise questions about the global economic and political system and how it works. They are designed for campaigners and activists, students and researchers, and anyone interested in looking behind the headlines. Produced in partnership with Oxfam, each book provides an informative and thought-provoking guide to current trends and debates, and what needs to happen in order to end poverty and injustice.Every year tens of millions of people abandon rural areas of the South for life in the city. With education, health care and even safe water in short supply, cities risk becoming sites of violent conflict for future generations. And yet world governments are doing little to address thesedemographic shifts.Jeremy Seabrook offers a vivid portrait of the lives of people who migrate from impoverished villages to towns and cities, the changes they face, and the impact these changes have on their psyche and well-being. Contrasting the attitudes of today's governments with those of the past, the book provides a sharp critique of global policies, and an ideal introduction to the impact of urbanisation on modern life. 410 0$aSmall guides to big issues. 606 $aCities and towns 606 $aCity and town life$xGovernment policy 606 $aCity and town life$xHealth aspects 606 $aCity and town life$xPsychological aspects 606 $aCity and town life 606 $aRural-urban migration 606 $aUrbanization$xGovernment policy 606 $aUrbanization 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCities and towns. 615 0$aCity and town life$xGovernment policy. 615 0$aCity and town life$xHealth aspects. 615 0$aCity and town life$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aCity and town life. 615 0$aRural-urban migration. 615 0$aUrbanization$xGovernment policy. 615 0$aUrbanization. 676 $a307.76 700 $aSeabrook$b Jeremy$f1939-$0147794 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455305903321 996 $aCities$92274981 997 $aUNINA
