Urban growth  has been accompanied by an increase in urban poverty.   While the spatial distribution of poverty in urban  areas in Mexico is varied, new settlements that tend  to grow in the peri-urban hinterland of cities are  largely associated with poverty.  The focus of this  study lay in the Metropolitan Area of Mexico City  (MAMC), which is the habitat of diverse low-income  groups. Among those groups are the campesinos (people  with rural background engaged totally or partially in  agricultural livelihoods). Some studies have  suggested that campesinos are very vulnerable to  urban growth, since population expansion has put  severe pressure on their agricultural land, which,  despite its marginal value, is used to produce crops  for either semi-commercialisation or subsistence.  This book aims to understand how the growth of the  MAMC affects poverty in campesinos'' households, in  order to recommend directions for poverty reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838349695\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eEffects of urban growth in the impoverishment of campesinos´ households living in the periphery of  Mexico City\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838349695","offer_id":39469158957149,"sku":"9783838349695","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/a091be33-6c0b-41fd-9ecb-b85f6f82379e.jpg?v=1776142669","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/from-rural-poor-to-urban-poor-von-yadira-mendez-lemus","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
