PLANET OF SLUMS - MIKE DAVIS KARTONIERT (TB)

The classic  brilliant  best-selling account of the rise of the world's slums  where  according
to the United Nations  one billion people now live According to the United Nations  more than
one billion people now live in the slums of the cities of the South. In this brilliant and
ambitious book  Mike Davis explores the future of a radically unequal and explosively unstable
urban world. From the sprawling barricadas of Lima to the garbage hills of Manila  urbanization
has been disconnected from industrialization  and even from economic growth. Davis portrays a
vast humanity warehoused in shantytowns and exiled from the formal world economy. He argues
that the rise of this informal urban proletariat is a wholly unforeseen development  and asks
whether the great slums  as a terrified Victorian middle class once imagined  are volcanoes
waiting to erupt.
