Abstract

The rate of urban growth is now higher in some of the economically underdeveloped countries than it is in the United States. The apparent imbal ance between rates of urban growth and of industrialization is pointed out. Levels of employment, health, education, nutrition, and housing among the masses of rural migrants to the cities in most countries are posing problems which strain overburdened resources of the underdeveloped countries to the breaking point. There is some reason to hope that planned economic develop ment as well as the techniques of regional and city planning may be applied more generally in the solution of these problems in Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East than they have been in North America.
