and lack of intellectual and cultural stimuli more typical for suburban settings.
Over the last 20 years many European and North American cities have signif-
icantly improved their environmental qualities in terms of air, water and other
pollution standards, due to more sophisticated technology, de-industrialization and
the transfer of heavily polluting production processes to the
. On the
other hand, the large megalopolises of the Third World still pose major environ-
mental problems, partly because those infrastructural technologies which have
helped to stabilize the urban environment in European and North American cities,
have only been very partially implemented, partly also because the technological
solutions developed in Europe in moderate climates with suf

development.
