==Work on shanty towns==
In 1972 Eyre published one of the first Caribbean studies on urban geography, showing that the inner city tenements and not the shanty town was the first destination of rural migrants, then, when stable work is found and income saved, outward to the peri-urban shanty towns;〔Robert B. Potter, David Barker, Dennis Conway ''The contemporary Caribbean'' 2004 "Fundamentally, Eyre's work serves to show that the principal flow of migrants is not to the shanty towns (Eyre, 1972). The main flow is of rural migrants to the tenement slums of the inner city."〕 and noting income variance in the shanty towns.〔Robert B. Potter, Sally Lloyd-Evans ''The city in the developing world'' 1998 A case study: Montego Bay, Jamaica "In 1972, Alan Eyre of the University of the West Indies published an excellent study of the shanty towns of Montego Bay, the second largest settlement in Jamaica, which had a population of approximately 50000 at that time. Eyre noted that strong spatial variations in income and ..."〕 Eyre was one of the first urban geographers in Caribbean-Latin American context to clearly document the inner-city/peri-urban shanty distinction.〔Pushpa Agnihotri ''Poverty amidst prosperity: survey of slums'' 1994 Page 14 Shanty Towns "Mountjoy (1978) includes all slums in his "spontaneous settlement" whether they be shanty towns of Mexico or favelas (peripheral slums) of Rio-de-Janeiro or bustees (inner-city slums) of India. Eyre (1972), however, seems to have a clearer view about shanty towns"〕 In a later study (1984) Eyre found evidence of both marginality and self-improvement in the Jamaican shanty towns.〔Deryck R. Brown ''Selected issues and problems in social policy'' 1998 Page 194 "Eyre reviewed selected data from a comprehensive survey of twenty peri-urban shanty towns in Jamaica, carried out by a multidisciplinary team between 1978 and 1982. Among his findings were much evidence of both marginality and ..."〕 Eyre's work (1984, 1986) also documented party political violence as a component of peri-urban geography,〔EYRE, LA (1984b): The Internal Dynamics of Shanty Towns in Jamaica. In: Caribbean Geography 1, 4, 256-270. EYRE, LA (1986): Party Political Violence and the Struggle for Residential Space in Jamaica. In: Nederlandse Geografiske Studier〕 hurricane housing (1989) and self-help housing (1997).〔''Self-help housing in the Caribbean'' (1997)〕
