Description
In Turkey, as in many developing countries, rural migrants flood to the big cities where they build their own homes, often illegally, in areas known as gecekondus. Are such migrants a problem to be... eliminated or an essential part of the process of development? And, what role can the State play if it chooses to assimilate these new urbanites into city life?
