“Planet of Slums,” Mike Davis offers an account of the rise of a “surplus humanity” in the mega-cities of the global south. Engaging Davis’s arguments about why and how rural-urban migration worldwide has spiked in recent decades, discuss the rise of urban populations and that rise’s implications for economic and human development. What are the keenest challenges tied to “shanty towns” and urban slums of the global south, in terms of development, and what are some of the solutions now under discussion? How might the emergence of the “slum world” relate to Malthus’s ideas about “overpopulation,” and to larger demographic trends discussed by Sen and others? And how do the two “discourses” of the slum world we’ve discussed in class—“slums of despair” and “slums of hope”—represent the life and the prospects of the Third World urban poor?
