Title: Urban Futures: Economic Growth and Poverty Reduction (Urban Management Series).
Description: Bourton-on-Dunsmore : ITDG Publishing, 2005. Paperback. 240 pp.- 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. Library stamps. English text. Condition : very good.
