«Ciudades» is the popular essay by Jeremy Seabrook, published by Fundación Intermón Oxfam in paperback (230 pages, in Spanish).
It deals with migration from the countryside to the great cities of the South, where disorderly growth worsens the lack of housing, services and employment. Faced with inaction, it recalls the intervention of Victorian Britain against urban misery and the paradox that, although there are more resources than in the countryside, migrants' quality of life deteriorates.
It belongs to the Dossiers para entender el mundo collection, translated by Escarlata Guillén Pont; the English original, Cities, was published in 2007.
For readers interested in urbanism, social inequality and development cooperation, as well as the challenges of the great cities of the South.
Jeremy Richard Seabrook was an English author and journalist who specialised in social, environmental and development issues. His book The Refuge and the Fortress: Britain and the Flight from Tyranny was longlisted for the Orwell Prize.
