How Should We Tackle Urban Poverty?

Alfredo Brillembourg, the Founding Partner of Urban – Think Tank in Zurich, talks about incomplete urbanization. What is it that we need for our cities? The world population is growing and most of the growth will happen in Sur Global, the southern hemisphere. So, we need to reimagine how our cities will be like. On the examples from his native city, Caracas, Alfredo points out the problem of incomplete urbanization and service deprivation in poor city areas and what can be done to tackle urban poverty.
