This article represents some of the results of three field research studies of urbanization in the Sudan. The research has focussed on two urban communities in the Khartoum area, those known as Tuti Island' and Burri al Mahas.2 The first study was conducted as doctoral research in 1970-72; a brief re-study took place in 1975, and most recently research was conducted in 1979-80. This ten-year period was a time during which major economic and demographic change occurred in the urban Sudan.
