The Urban and the Rural in the Development Debate: An Overview
There is much confusion in the use of the terms ‘urban’ and ‘rural’. The article defines these terms and shows that the South already has a high degree of urbanisation.

An overview of these ideas is presented, together with the evolving strategic vision of UN-Habitat

The Third World in Transition: The Case of the Peasantry in Botswana
The objective of the present work is through the case of Botswana to discuss the creation of poverty in the period of transition from tribal to modern society in the Third World today.
