Overview
The Third World's cities have grown explosively since the 1950s. To account for their dramatic population increases, which were especially large until the mid-1970s, this work uses a Computable General Equilibrium Model. Estimated with data from forty developing countries, and tested for the period from 1960 to 1973/1974, the model enables the authors to assess the importance of various factors in Third World city growth up to 1973; to discuss the impact of the OPEC-induced fuel scarcity and other changes on city growth 'slowdown' in the late 1970s; and to predict that most Third World urban transition will peak before the year 2000.Book Details
