Abstract

The movement of rural people to the cities is not a new phenomenon, neither is it restricted to particular parts of the world: the unique factor about the present urban growth is its universal character and the explosive pace at which it takes place. This is largely due to the very high natural increase of population, added to the limited employment opportunities and subsistence chances in rural areas.KeywordsUrban PopulationUrban GrowthEntrepreneurial CapitalBasic Public HealthLimited Employment OpportunityThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
