migrations took place due to economic disparities between
regions, racial and certain occupational groups.

being carried out. The main aims of the rural new town
developments are on the regional urbanisations policy and
concept as to upgrade the socio economic well beings of the
rural populations in making transitions to the urban way of
life. |
