And Third World cities seem to intensify and exaggerate urban trends - they are bigger, have greater income disparities, more pollution, taller buildings, more nodes and corridors, more congestion. Colonial Core - colonial town planning usually ignored or was imposed on what existed before, or acts as core for future urban development.
Usual forms are grids or renaissance plans.
Various grids used also in India. The Old City or Peoples' City - may be remnant of previously existing settlement, or may be a sort of suburb crowding around colonial plan. Diplomatic, Affluent, Globalised Districts. New hotels, offices, perhaps embassies, outlets of global corporations - elegant, high security, may be virtually indistinguishable from parts of developed world. In Latin America also by accretion in least desirable sites but land invasion is common - committee organises, lay out street and assigns lots, truck marks out these with powdered chalk, move in overnight, rough shelters up in a day, more permanent with concrete in a few weeks, also may be elected community council within weeks.
