Opis

A comprehensive assessment of the world's cities and a reference tool for academics, researchers, planners, public authorities and civil society organizations around the world. The 2003 report addresses the growing problems presented by slums in an increasingly globalized world. Using extensive case studies, it analyses the factors behind the creation of slums and reviews the policies taken towards them. It demonstrates that to meet the UN's Millennium Goals of significantly improving the lives of over 100 million slum dwellers by 2020, policies must go beyond traditional infrastrucutral approaches to create livelihoods, and hope, for the urban poor.
