Urban Research in Developing Countries: Towards an Agenda for the 1990s In view of an increasingly urban world with population ever concentrated in developing countries, a large-scale, global comparative project funded by the Ford Foundation focused on the role of research in urban development in the developing world was undertaken between 1991 and 1993. Researchers from 55 countries were represented in this effort. This paper briefly presents some of the findings, highlights the changing context and support structure of urban research and tentatively suggests a research agenda for the 1990s. The conclusion raises the issue of the link between urban research and development.
