According to the United Nations, more than one billion people now live in the slums of cities in the Global South. In this compelling book, Mike Davis explores the future of a radically unequal and unstable urban world. From Lima's sprawling barricades to Manila's garbage hills, urbanization often bypasses industrialization and economic growth. Davis depicts a large population living in shantytowns, excluded from the formal economy, raising questions about the potential for social unrest.
