Fifty per cent of the urban land in Mexico City is occupied by this type of dwelling. The purpose of this study is to develop a method to detect and measure the physical changes over time of a group of dwelling units in a colonia popular. A group of 20 dwelling units has been selected randomly in three blocks of a colonia popular. Each dwelling unit has been recorded on maps showing two physical changes that have taken place over time. The changes that we recorded were those that took place at morpholgical and functional views. A comparison of these changes will help to suggest patterns of future growth. Since we feel that these physical changes are an expression of social economic, and political changes experienced by the house holders we consider this study to be a preliminary step in a project which would relate changes in dwellings to larger social forces. / by Jorge Andrade-Narvaez. / M.Arch.

M. Tech. Economics and Finance / The main aim with the current study was to explore the complexity and mobility of rural-urban migration, as well as its relation to the housing crisis and many other rural-urban socio-economic implications in Namibia. The features of rural-urban migration were analysed, alongside the migration processes and socio-economic complications. The rationale with the present study was to identify the factors responsible for the rural-urban migration in Namibia and to investigate migration mobility patterns. In addition, policy implications were explored with the aim of formulating a possible new migration policy, as well as to offer recommendations to protect urban migrants' socio-economic status. Furthermore, the current rural-urban migration patterns and imbalances in housing - which has led to the illegal erection of informal settlements around towns and cities - were uncovered.
