title: Urbanization within the Indonesian economy:  a policy dilemma.
abstract: "Most Third World countries have serious problems relating to rapid urban growth but attempts to solve urban problems have generally failed. This paper looks at the urban issues of one country, Indonesia, and the attempts by the Indonesian government to control rural to urban migration.  Contradictions between macroeconomic and urban policies, however, have undermined government programmes."
