The Urban Poor

The Rise Of Urban Poverty

India is going from being a predominantly rural country, to one where the majority of its people live in cities and by 2030, 600 million people are expected to reside in urban areas, a rise from 377 million people in 2011. Whilst urban centres present real opportunities for migrating poor rural people, they also create and feed the conditions within which poverty spreads.

The rapid pace of urbanisation is currently outstripping the capacity of our governments to cope with it, - resulting in inadequate housing, basic infrastructure and services.

The Puzzle Of Urban Poverty

The Puzzle Of Urban Poverty

webchargers.in_apna_assets_img_home_interventions_home-cube.svg-0.svg

The only way to fully understand and comprehend the complexity of urban poverty, is to think of it as a three-dimensional puzzle. A puzzle that not only features deprivation of all basic human entitlements, systemic exclusion and insecurity, but also brings with it a lack of ‘identity’, a voiceless-ness within the system, severe exploitation and discrimination.
