Analysis of the Rural-Urban Transformation, Territorial Development Policies, and Regional Trade Integration in Low and Middle Income Countries
ODI was contracted by the World Bank to conduct background analysis for the World Development Report 2009. This was organised as 3 separate projects on rural-urban transformation (Massimiliano Cali); territorial development policies, and regional trade integration in low and middle income countries (Dirk Willem te Velde) and policy responses to spatial poverty traps (Kate Bird and Kate Higgins). The analysis consisted of reviews of relevant policy literature, primary analysis using micro and country level data, key informant interviews and specific illustrative country case studies.
