In the five years since the first edition of Cities and Development was published, awareness of the challenges associated with urban growth in the developing world has grown significantly. More than a billion of the world's people live in slums, a shocking statistic that is set to more than double within the next 20 years unless serious interventions are made. This has consequently become a key focus for international aid appeals and research.
This revised edition of Cities and Development provides an updated critical review of the dynamic relationship between urbanism and development. Building on the success of the first edition, the authors have brought the chapters and the selection of literature up to date. Highlighting both the challenges and opportunities associated with rapid urban change, the book surveys:
Sean Fox is Lecturer in Urban Geography and Global Development at the University of Bristol. His research has been published in journals such as Environment and Planning C: Government and Policy, Population and Development Review and World Development. He has also served as an advisor on urban development issues for a variety of international organisations, including DfID, CARE International and UN-Habitat.
Tom Goodfellow is Lecturer in Urban Studies and International Development at the University of Sheffield. His work has been published in a range of journals including Urban Studies, Comparative Politics and Development and Change. He has acted as an advisor to Oxfam on urban development issues and provided policy analysis for the UK Parliamentary Select Committee on International Development, as well as several government authorities in sub-Saharan Africa.
