The Challenge of Slums presents the first global assessment of slums, emphasizing their problems and prospects. Using a newly formulated operational definition of slums, it presents estimates of the number of urban slum dwellers and examines the factors at all level, from local to global, that underlie the formation of slums as well as their social, spatial and economic characteristics and dynamics. It goes on to evaluate the principal policy responses to the slum challenge of the last few decades. From this assessment, the immensity of the challenges that slums pose is clear. Almost 1 billion people live in slums, the majority in the developing world where over 40 per cent of the urban population are slum dwellers. The number is growing and will continue to increase unless there is serious and concerted action by municipal authorities, governments, civil society and the international community. This report points the way forward and identifies the most promising approaches to achieving the United Nations Millennium Declaration targets for improving the lives of slum dwellers by scaling up participatory slum upgrading and poverty reduction programmes. TheGlobal Report on Human Settlements is the most authoritative and up-to-date assessment of conditions and trends in the world's cities. Written in clear language and supported by informative graphics, case studies and extensive statistical data, it will be an essential tool and reference for researchers, academics, planners, public authorities and civil society organizations around the world.

"La dynamique planétaire d'urbanisation passe par l'extension des bidonvilles dans les pays en développement. C'est un huitième de l'humanité qui vit aujourd'hui dans ces espaces. Parallèlement, le retour des bidonvilles et des campements illégaux en France suscite inquiétude, voire alarmisme, sur fond de " crise des migrants ". Pour certains, les bidonvilles doivent être éradiqués comme des foyers d'insalubrité et de criminalité. Pour d'autres, ils constituent un laboratoire de la ville durable, à la fois piétonne, écologique, participative et recyclable. Et si les bidonvilles, au lieu de renvoyer uniquement à un passé effrayant, inventaient aussi des solutions pour l'avenir ?" [4e de couverture]

This book presents the research findings of four Vietnamese institutions that, in 1992, designed a joint research project on urban poverty with the financial support of Canada's International Development Research Centre (IDRC). The first objective was to identify and qualify urban poverty in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh-Ville. This found that poverty in Hanoi is widespread and not well accepted or acknowledged. On the contrary, poverty in Ho Chi Minh-Ville is concentrated on the city's canals where a ""poverty culture"" developed long ago. The researchers' most significant contribution has been their
