Abstract
The debt crisis of developing countries became apparent in the early 1980s mainly in Central and South America. A look at the net flow of funds around the world — payments on interest and principal subtracted from newly introduced funds — shows that beginning in the mid-1980s money tended to flow back from the developing to the developed world (Table 1).

Because the definition of “city” differs from one country to another, there are hardly any data allowing urban population comparisons among countries. What is more, there are considerable differences between the urban population statistics of the UN and the World Bank. Here I have used UN data on recent urbanization: World Urbanization Prospects: The 1994 Revision (ST/ESA/SER.A/150)
