Presents the struggles of the poor to survive within urban areas and the failure of both the public and market to respond to the challenges they face while looking at the shelter conditions of the majority of the urban poor. Examines both the positive and negative features of slums and identifies participatory slum upgrading programmes. Provides future directions that can be applied by national governments, municipal authorities, civil society organisations and international organisations that are interested in the positive development of the lives of slum dwellers.
