Migrant Adjustment to City Life: The Egyptian Case

Abstract

One third of Cairo's population are village migrants. Their pattern of settlement within the city is explored to reveal significant differences between types of migrants and to identify the kinds of adjustment they are called upon to make to the new physical, economic, social, and ideological requirements of city life. Certain anticipated difficulties in adjustment are found not to materialize, whereas others, often ignored by sociologists, assume greater importance.
