Title: Planet of Slums Author: Mike Davis Narrator: Mike Lenz Format: mp3 Length: 7 hrs and 45 mins Release date: 06-23-20 Ratings: 4.5 out of 5 stars, 44 ratings Genres: Globalization Publisher's Summary: From the sprawling barricadas of Lima to the garbage hills of Manila, urbanization has been disconnected from industrialization, even economic growth.
