Abstract

Even relatively small cities not experiencing explosive growth through migration are not easy to plan from scratch in underdeveloped contexts. As part of an underresourced, fledgeling profession, urban planners have tended to tread warily in the contentious sociopolitical context, concentrating on the technicalities surrounding the legalization of land subdivision for urban use, building standards and rational development. Detailed analysis of three cities reveals that speculation still thrives and that the drawbacks of this concentration affect both the state and urban society as a whole.
