change in South Asia and eleven are dealing with individual countries
of the region. Specific problems of tribal population, flood related
migration and refugee settlement were covered by Indian authors. A
general chapter on population trends in Nepal is followed by more
specific treatment of resettlement policies in that country. For Sri
Lanka there are three complementary contributions dealing with general
trends, population policies and the urbanization process. An overall
review of trends in Pakistan is supplemented by a case study of the
North West Frontier Province. Finally, refugee questions are discussed
in detail for Bangladesh."

less developed countries, 1950- 1980. International Regional
Science Review, Vol. 10, No. 1, Apr 1986. 1- 45 pp. Morgantown, West
Virginia. In Eng.
"This paper presents estimates of the rate of
population redistribution to the core areas of 44 developing countries
over the period 1950-80. Particular attention is given to the period
1970-80, a time during which the core areas of developed countries
experienced substantial declines in their rates of net inmigration.
The principal finding is that the core areas of most developing
countries are still experiencing high and, in a number of cases,
increasing rates of net inmigration."
The author contends that "this
finding confirms the developmental model of spatial concentration and
dispersal and should lay to rest other explanations of deconcentration,
including arguments that focus on diseconomies of absolute size in the
core area or on fluctuations in the aggregate economy." The difference
between the population growth rates of entire nations and of core areas
is used as a measure of interregional migration. Data for the 44
countries and information on the data sources are included in
appendixes.

In this article, based on a paper presented at the International
Conference on Population and the Urban Future, held in Barcelona,
Spain, in May 1986, the author examines problems associated with the
rapidly growing cities of sub-Saharan Africa. The annual urban growth
rate of 10-15 percent observed in the region, the inadequate economic
base of African cities, and the young age of Africa's urban populations
are discussed. The author contends that "the development strategy in
Africa has been biased in favour of urban areas, a situation which is
both a cause and consequence of migration--and the root of the problems
of the burgeoning cities. In essence, management problems of the
cities--its causes and policy measures--stretch beyond the city
limits."
The need for reliable population data in order to plan for
and manage urban growth is stressed.

The author
analyzes "several issues related to India's urbanisation including the
relevant more recent policy decisions [and] seeks also to make some
constructive suggestions for an alternative developmental strategy for
the future of urban India."
A brief review of census data for the
period 1901-1981 and a projection to 2001 show continued growth of the
urban population. The author's proposed strategy would decentralize
industry, health and educational services, and government; restrict the
influx of population into urban areas and encourage the development of
small and medium-sized towns; check environmental pollution; provide
housing, transportation, and health services; and work to reduce
poverty.

"A number of
investigators have noted a movement of Soviet population toward the
seacoasts, contrasting with the nation's traditional inland
development. The pull of the coast has been linked to the increasing
foreign trade of the USSR and to greater involvement in ocean affairs
in general. The author analyzes the recent growth of maritime urban
places in terms of the nation's major maritime regions: Azov-Black
Sea, Baltic, Caspian, Pacific and Arctic, compares the rates of urban
population growth and discusses some of the factors that account for
differences in regional development."

The author attempts to
establish whether the recent increases in some population subgroups in
central cities in the United States is the start of a trend or a
temporary phenomenon. Data are from the 1970 and 1980 censuses. The
author concludes that the increase is a temporary one that is primarily
due to an increase in the size of certain cohorts. The overriding
trend is toward suburbanization, and the author concludes that the
increase in central city populations will cease as cohorts decline in
size.

spread followed by manufacturing industries. Despite, or probably
because of, their extensive spread, both sectors display low levels of

growth in retail and wholesale trade, services, and the provision of
financial, insurance, and real estate services are examined for the

questions related to resource sharing in the provision of goods and
services that would benefit residents of both central cities and their
suburbs.

ST/ESA/SER.R/61, 1986. vii, 38 pp. New York, New York. In Eng.
This
is the first in a series of studies that will focus on population
policies and plans concerning mega-cities in developing countries. The
emphasis is on policies designed to improve the standards of living and
quality of life of the more than 8 million inhabitants projected for
each of these cities by the year 2000. Among the policies discussed
are those concerning migration, population projections, spatial
distribution, urban infrastructure, employment, revenue raising, and
institutional arrangements for planning and managing urban growth.
This report concerns the mega-city of Calcutta, India.
The papers
will follow a common format. "Section I provides basic information on
demographic trends and reviews the use of demographic data in planning
for rapidly growing urban populations." Other sections deal with
economic issues and employment, policies affecting spatial
distribution, infrastructure, and public
investment.

Tokyo metropolitan region. Kyoto University Economic Review, Vol.
52, No. 1-2, Apr-Oct 1982. 1-29 pp. Kyoto, Japan. In Eng.
The
author seeks to analyze the pattern of urbanization in the Tokyo
metropolitan area through techniques of cross-sectional and principal
components analysis. The focus is on accurately defining and
delineating the urban area using data for 43 demographic and
socioeconomic variables for 296 zones collected during the 1970 census
of Japan. Particular attention is given to population density, the
proportion of the population employed in non-primary industry, and the
proportion of the employed population commuting.

"The characteristics of urban population growth in China reflect
clearly the strong influences of explicit and implicit population
redistribution policies and of the disguised urbanization process.
Analyses of absolute number and percentage of urban population reveal
the essential characteristics and areal variations of urban population
growth resulting from the natural endowment and political- economical
development processes. A new spatial pattern will evolve during a new
development stage." Data are from official
sources.

Regional Studies, Vol. 20, No. 1, Feb 1986. 47- 71 pp. New York, New
York/Cambridge, England. In Eng. with sum. in Fre; Ger.
A review of
urban change in Hungary in the twentieth century is presented. Both
the traditional approach to studying urban change, involving changes in
the percentage of those residing in urban areas, and the newly
developed approach, focusing on regional aspects of urbanization, are
used in the analysis. "In sharp contrast to most European countries
Hungary is shown to evidence continued centralization of urban
development, but the recent experience of Budapest and other indicators
are said to portend future decentralization."

population in the non-Chernozem zone of the RSFSR. Soviet
Geography, Vol. 27, No. 4, Apr 1986. 215-32 pp. Silver Spring,
Maryland. In Eng.
"Rural population change within the Non-Chernozem
zone of the RSFRS [Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic] is
examined over the period 1959-79 at several levels of analysis: the
Non-Chernozem zone as a whole, its major economic regions, individual
oblasts, individual rayons and individual farms and rural places. The
overriding tendency at all levels of analysis has been the increasing
spatial concentration of rural population."
The authors observe that
"this concentration assumes a variety of forms, from the concentration
of rural population in the suburban zones of large cities and the
immediate surroundings of rayon seats to a decline in the number of
rural places (from 180,000 in 1959 to 118,000 in 1979) and the growth
of local centers against a general background of rural population
decline. The authors hint that the observed tendency is a positive
development, in keeping with the policy of converting Soviet
agriculture to a more intensive path of development."
