    Mike Davis’s book Planet of Slums does a good job at analyzing world urbanization, poverty and describing the conditions in which the poorest people on earth live in, however I disagree with his opinion that the slums are a lost cause. In the book Davis, which is an urban historian, seeks to provide a better understanding of the rapidly increasing urban population, the extreme levels of poverty, and exploitation of the poor around the world. His book had a deep impact in how I define poverty as it reveals so many harsh realities of what goes on in the rest of the world, but I would disagree with his belief that there is no solution to this problem. This is a great book at depicting slums, which as stated in the book are “a fully franchised solution to the problem of warehousing this century’s surplus humanity.”(P.201), and is one…

The term “urban South” is used by Mike Davis throughout the book, it refers to the third world countries that are all over the globe, hence the title of the book “Planet” of the Slums. When referring to the “urban South”, Davis is talking about the undeveloped cities in the continent of Asia, Africa and South America; he also mentioned cities such as Mumbai (Bombay), Dhaka, Cairo, Shanghai, Kolkata (Calcutta), and many more (4). Mike Davis was very straightforward when…

    Soria talks about the ideal form that the cities should adopt, supporting his theory in naturalistic and geometric reasoning that points out the spontaneous grouping of building in linear series along the road of the suburban cities. He recalls “ ruralized the urban life, urbanized the rural life, this is the problem and the solution is the Linear City” . In his argument, he compares the garden city and the linear city, implying the lack of attention that the garden city has for the transport lines, curve streets that are more expensive and inefficient and that this perpetuate the concentric arrangement of land values.

    Resources tie into this because many urban centres have education systems, medical centres, supermarkets and a vast range of other things including jobs. Therefore, people are drawn to urban areas for a better quality of life. Example: Population growth in terms of how many people live in the cities has been increasing since 1800s when it was approximately around 3% of the global population and now it is roughly 50%, displaying a 47% increase (Getis, Getis, Bjellad, and Fellmann, 2011) • Concluding comment: From this it is evident that many people are moving from Rural to Urban locations as a result of more resources and opportunities the urban areas can offer in comparison to rural areas. This movement is facilitating urban development due to the fact that cities must accommodate the population whom are moving to the cities and as a result urban development and city growth occurs.…
