Abstract
The United Nations Conference on the Human Environment held in Stockholm in 1972 included the urban environment as a critical problem for less developed countries. The deplorable housing conditions, lack of sanitary facilities and other essential infrastructure were considered as great a threat to the ecology as the industrial excesses and imbalances of developed countries. The continued, rapid growth of metropolitan areas has exacerbated these conditions to an urban crisis—a crisis that has a very destructive potential unless the developed countries redress the situation with a rational policy and strategy of investment in urban development. This problem of strategy is discussed in this paper.
