Modular cities: beyond the rural-urban divide

John Friedmann

Department of Urban Planning, School of Public Policy and Social Research, UCLA, 405 Hilgard Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA, fax: (1) 310 206 5566.

This paper describes how town-centred, self-governing ‘agropolitan’ districts could be developed in high density rural or peri-urban areas to raise living standards and increase employment opportunities there. They should also preserve the integrity of households and village communities and thus reduce the scale of migration to cities and the social costs that most such migrants face in cities.
