Pool of potential quiz questions for the reading of Davis

These are the potential quiz questions for this week. 1 or 2 questions from this pool will be asked in the class, so it would be wise to get prepared to all the questions. Do not memorize the answers, use your own sentences in the quiz to answer the questions. You can use Turkish words as much as you want in your answers when you can not express your self in English (in other words Türkçe ve İngilizce ortaya karışık yazmanız is not a problem, begin with English and use Turkish terms when you can't remember/find its English karşılık)
  1. What is a megaslum? (page 26)
  2. What is the main difference between American and European cities in terms of the settlement patterns of the poor (immigrant and unemployed populations) (page 31)
  3.  Explain Turner's celebrated model based on Peru in explaning the settlement patterns of rural migrants (page 29)
  4. Explain the four basic shelter strategies for the poor that Ahmet Soliman discusses by looking at the case of Cairo. (page 29)
  5. What do you understand by Turner's phrase "Housing is a verb" (page 27)
