Brook, Prakash Bhat and Anil Nitturkar; Introduction 327 $aMethodology 330 $aPeri-urban interfaces - the zones where urban and rural areas meet - suffer from the greatest problems to humans caused by rapid urbanization, including intense pressures on resources, slum formation, lack of adequate services such as water and sanitation, poor planning and degradation of farmland. These areas, home to hundreds of millions of people, face unique problems and need distinctive and innovative approaches and solutions.This book, authored by top researchers and practitioners, covers the full breadth and depth of the impacts of rapid urbanization on livelihoods, poverty and resource 606 $aSustainable development 606 $aUrbanization 606 $aLand use 615 0$aSustainable development. 615 0$aUrbanization. 615 0$aLand use. 676 $a307.74 701 $aMcGregor$b Duncan F.
