Description

Understand the complex realities of urban poverty through this essential study from Routledge. With one in seven people globally living in urban poverty, most of whom reside in the Global South, the scale of this issue is immense. This book examines the living conditions in overcrowded informal settlements where access to water, sanitation, healthcare, and schools remains inadequate. Readers will gain insight into why governments and international agencies often underestimate the depth of urban poverty. The text explores the relationship between economic growth and poverty reduction, investigating the paradox found in successful economies that fail to show evidence of decreasing poverty levels. This is a vital resource for students and professionals in anthropology and sociology seeking to understand the modern challenges of urban development and social inequality.
