In the UK the term is sometimes associated with crime and a way of life that is indigenous to Inner City living. The term was used by Bob Marley in his song "''Concrete Jungle''". The song, originally recorded in the late 1960s , was re-recorded on the Bob Marley & The Wailers' breakthrough record "Catch A Fire" in 1972 . The song depicts the Ghetto lifestyle of Jamaica ns. However, the term’s popular usage probably originated with British Zoologist Desmond Morris , who wrote "The city is not a concrete jungle, it is a human Zoo " in his Best-selling Book , ''The Human Zoo'', first published 1969 by Jonathan Cape . Morris may well have derived the term from Upton Sinclair who coined the phrase ''asphalt jungle'' in his Novel ''The Jungle'' published 1906 . The Specials , a Band from Coventry wrote a song in the early 1980s , called ''Concrete Jungle''. The region is synonymous with its extensive concrete Estates built in the 1950s , 60s and 70s .
