      abstract = {This paper is a theoretical study of rural‐urban  migration—urbanization—as it has occurred in many  low‐income economies in the postwar period. This process is  viewed as a transfer of labor from a traditional,  land‐intensive technology to a human capital–intensive  technology with an unending potential for growth. The model  emphasizes the role of cities as places in which new  immigrants can accumulate the skills required by modern  production technologies.},
