520 $aDespite its popular image as a vast and forbidding tropical forest frontier, Amazonia has undergone a significant urban transformation since the late 1970s. Rainforest Cities is the first comprehensive analysis of the regional urbanization process underway in the Brazilian Amazon.
520 8 $aDrawing on comparative household and sectoral survey research, John Browder and Brian Godfrey find that the growth of Amazon cities fits no single current theory of urbanization instead they propose a pluralistic theory of "disarticulated urbanization" to explain the region's varied and volatile settlement patterns.
520 8 $aRainforest Cities represents a valuable contribution to our current knowledge of regional development and environmental studies and will be of interest to urban planners, geographers, Amazon regional specialists, and interdisciplinary students of international development.
