It concluded that migration was a rational response on the part of individuals and families to interregional differences in opportunities. Urbanization was viewed as an intrinsic part of development and recommendations were made to increase government's capacity to manage urban development and respond to the needs of urban dwellers, especially the poor. Measures to increase rural productivity and improve the linkages between rural and urban areas were also proposed.
