Question

Answer 1

Explanation:

The Challenge of Slums: Global Report on Human Settlements 2003 is mainly concerned with the shelter conditions of the

majority of the urban poor. It is about how the poor struggle to survive within urban areas, mainly through informal shelter

and informal income-generation strategies, and about the inadequacy of both public and market responses to the plight of the

urban poor. But the report is also about hope, about building on the foundations of the urban poor’s survival strategies and

about what needs to be done by both the public and non-governmental sectors, as well as by the international community, if

the goal of adequate shelter for all is to have any relevance for today’s urban poor.

Efforts to improve the living conditions of slum dwellers (especially within developing countries) have been feeble and

incoherent over the last decade or so, having peaked during the 1980s. However, renewed concern about poverty has recently

led governments to adopt a specific target on slums in the United Nations Millennium Declaration, which aims to significantly

improve the lives of at least 100 million slum dwellers by the year 2020. As this report emphasizes, slums are a manifestation

of the two main challenges facing human settlements development at the beginning of the new millennium: rapid urbanization

and the urbanization of poverty. Slums areas have the highest concentrations of poor people and the worst shelter and physical

environmental conditions.
