Urbanization's dark side, an unsettling global survey.
"Planet of Slums" unpacks a reality that few of us are truly familiar with, but all of us need to understand. Davis takes you through the nooks and crannies of sprawling slums around the world, exposing the stark realities of life for over a billion people. If you've ever wondered about the challenges and the resilience found in the shaded areas of rapid urban growth, this book offers an unflinching examination that is as enlightening as it is distressing.
