Nations of Asia, predominantly made up of villages with Ru life more the norm than city life, have been changing into lands of cities. The uniqueness of this Ur growth in Asia is the universality of its nature & accelerated pace, caused primarily by the explosive increase of pop & its shifts into cities. As a result, the immediate consequence of pop concentration in Asian big cities in particular, without an adequate base of industr & Ur economies, is the inevitable deterioration of human environment, which affects the lifestyles of fam's & individuals in cities & Ru villages as well. In other words, the patterns of life that provided for the orderly handling of many matters have to be compromised or shattered altogether. It must be recognized, however, that the Ur'ization process in Asian cities is playing a dynamic role, demonstrating a new spirit in the development of the Ur community as well as in the process of modernization of a nation itself. Asian leaders are now convinced that planned Ur growth, including the improvement of human environment, is a necessary condition for both a balanced econ growth & a new quality of life. Modified HA.

An attempt was made to test the hypothesis that Ur'ization of the Afrikaner would lead to a more tolerant attitude towards non-whites & a disenchantment with the policy of apartheid. The study was undertaken within the framework of a larger study conducted in the 'Flatland' area of Johannesburg, one of the most densely populated areas in Africa. The sample consisted of 482 residents, of whom 52 were Afrikaans-speaking South Africans. A scale of Ur'ization was constructed based upon the proportion of time which the individual had spent in Ur areas. Scores on the Ur'ization scale were r'ed with scores on 5 attitude scales: anti-African prejudice, pro-apartheid ideology, authoritarianism, humanitarianism, democratic ideology & anomie. A positive r between scores on the scales of anti-African prejudice & pro-apartheid ideology suggested that a dislike of the African underlay the policy of apartheid. The role of group solidarity in mediating the effects of Ur'ization on the att's measured was considered. AA.

Nations of Asia, predominately made up of villages with rural life more the norm than city life, have been changing into lands of cities. The uniqueness of this urban growth in Asia is the universality of its nature and accelerated pace, caused primarily by the explosive increase of population and its shifts into cities. As a result, the immediate consequence of population concentration in Asian big cities in particular, without an adequate base of industrial and urban economies, is the inevitable deterioration of human environment, which affects the lifestyles of families and individuals in cities and rural villages as well. In other words, the patterns of life that provided for the orderly handling of many matters have to be compromised or shattered altogether. It must be recognized, however, that the urbanization process in Asian cities is playing a dynamic role, demonstrating a new spirit in the development of the urban community as well as in the process of modernization of a nation itself. Asian leaders are now convinced that planned urban growth, including the improvement of human environment, is a necessary condition for both a balanced economic growth and a new quality of life.
