of the world's cities and other human settlements* The first global
assessment of urban slums, the challenges they present and the ways
to improve the lives of slum dwellers* Statistical annexes provide
essential information on demographic, spatial & economic,
housing, and environment & infrastructural indicatorsThis is
the only reliable and comprehensive assessment of the world's
cities, and an essential tool and reference 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 analyzes 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 infrastructural
approaches to create livelihoods, and hope, for the urban poor.
