Routledge Library Editions: Comparative Urbanization

Originally published in 1990 and unique in terms of diversity and extent, this book covers a wide geographical area, including Jamaica, Tunisia, Malaysia, India, Mauritius, Turkey, Jordan, Cyprus and Panama. Combining an emphasis on actual practice with an awareness of the wider implications of the use of high tech in developing countries, it looks at how computers can be a force for change. The book looks at more than twenty case studies of the use of personal computers for the planning and management of human settlements in developing countries.
