This text explores the life cycle of urban movements, focusing on slums and poverty. It outlines how to measure deprivation through various indicators, including physical, social, economic, and political indices. The text delves into the global and local presence of slums, their defining characteristics, demographics, and the advantages and disadvantages of residing in such areas. It also questions whether the location of slums differs between high-income countries (HICs) and low-income countries (LICs), urging a comprehensive examination of urban poverty patterns.
