Samenvatting
Poverty and economic growth are intrinsically related but are not always synonymous. Human wellbeing is as important to economic growth as growth is to wellbeing. Poverty is multi-dimensional, encompassing both income and non-income related factors. Mobility, aspiration, dignity, respect, knowledge, information and savvy feature importantly in our understanding of the dynamics of poverty.
This book brings together a collection of essays from around the world on urban development and poverty. The book reviews current international research in respect to some of the major themes that contribute to improving the equity and efficiency of urban systems. It bridges the need for a strong theoretical understanding of the issues with the demand for an equal understanding of practical application. Importantly, it explores and sets out methodologies for understanding qualitatively the dynamics of poverty and urban development.
Organized into three parts, the book adopts as its principal theme poverty and the eradication of extreme poverty. Part 1: The Dynamics of Poverty and Urban Poverty Research, offers a framework for understanding poverty and a methodology for research. It identifies a range of broadly based, non-country specific themes in respect to the processes of urbanization, urban poverty and child poverty. Part 2 : The Dynamics of Urban Systems, includes a selection of country specific essays each focused on an aspect of urban development and its relation to poverty. Each chapter offers first a theoretical overview in respect to its theme topic (shelter, land, partnership, migration), then explored in practice through case. Part 3: Urban Futures, reviews the principal themes emerging from the chapters and offers a basis for future work.
Each part includes an introductory piece from a southern NGO in response to the question: "What kind of research would help you most in pursuit of your cause." In this way this book contributes to the process of ensuring that international academic research remains grounded and practical.
