What is the difference between an enclave and a ghetto?
An enclave is generally formed out of voluntary association, whereas a ghetto is generally formed due to discrimination, and may have bad connotations. Q: I assume that the most urbanized regions of the world are located in the core and the least urbanized are located in the periphery. But in the text, it states that by 1980, 19 out of the 30 largest metropolitan areas are located in the periphery and semiperiphery. Can you help clear my confusion? A: Yes, the core is the most urbanized and since it already became urbanized, it makes sense that the periphery is urbanizing the fastest. Urbanization in the periphery and semi-periphery is happening much faster than it did in the core. While they haven’t reached the overall levels of urbananization of the core yet, they do have many of the biggest cities. This has a lot to do with the tendency towards urban primacy in these developing countries.
