Urban Poverty in India
Asian Development Bank
Rs 450
Urbanisation has been accompanied by an increase in urban poverty in India—large-scale squatter settlements, infrastructural deficiencies, and pressure on basic
|
services reflect this reality. This volume goes a long way in enhancing our awareness of urban vulnerability issues, and:
| |
discusses the varied experiences of urban poverty reduction in India |
|
|
|
|
|
examines urban poverty reduction strategies adopted by diverse stakeholders |
|
|
|
|
|
assesses the effectiveness of the strategies adopted |
|
|
|
|
|
draws lessons from operational experience, and |
|
|
|
|
|
identifies future challenges and thrust areas in the quest to reduce urban poverty. |
|
|
| Unlike rural poverty, which has been prolifically researched in India and elsewhere, urban poverty has received scant attention. This volume ably bridges this gap and is an extremely useful resource for policy makers, academics, international agencies, non-governmental organisations, and diverse stakeholders working on, and interested in, urban poverty issues. |
