  • Chapter
Breaking the Boundaries

Part of the book series: Urban Innovation Abroad ((UIA))

Abstract

The community of academics and professionals interested in Third World development and planning consists of three types of people: those who are “Westerners” by birth and training, who, while based in the West, are interested in the problems of developing countries; those who are “Third Worlders” by birth (with training from home countries or abroad) and have remained in their native settings to pursue a career in planning and development; and the Third World expatriates with advanced training in the West who have chosen a Western “base” for career development, but who remain vitally interested in the problems of the developing countries.
