title: Recent trends in Namibian urbanization.
abstract: "The theoretical debates on urbanization and spatial inequalities in development are sketched in relation to the Namibian (South West African) situation.  1951, 1960 and 1970 Population Census data as well as 1976 estimates for urban centres are analysed and interpreted, revealing growth trends in the urban hierarchy and in the three main racial groups in each town."
