Full Description
First Published in 2005. The 1970 edition of the educational yearbook focuses on education in cities. The purpose, in this volume, was not to produce yet another book describing various aspects of the 'urban crisis', but to concentrate on the effects of urbanization on education at all levels - an aspect which has, of course, been mentioned explicitly in the literature concerned with problems of urban growth though usually in the context of social problems, town planning, and so on.
