Abstract

The roots of those differences as between the city of the rich and its poor man's counterpart, as between the lawful one and that outside all law are examined as within the context of the Third World. The colonial past of such places is taken as the starting point of this study, it beeing seen as the origen of their physical, social and economic seperating lay-out. Further to this, the gigantic repercusion of the world economic crisis on all aspects of urban and rural life in many of the states within this general context is studied. The paper finishes by taking to task the majority of the governments of these states for the haziness of their housing distribution thinking and sees this as being further muddled by the wrong-headed protagonism that this tends to give to the demands of ambitious economic planning, planning which pays scant attention to either the real economic potential of the states or the administrative potential actually existing at provincial of local levels
