Title Debate: Urban Development Strategies are not Relevant to National Poverty Reduction Strategies
Day / Time Monday, June 19th / 14:00 - 16:00
Room MR15
Event Description Why is it that urban poverty and investments in housing and infrastructure for the poor are so rarely mentioned in national poverty reduction planning? ComHabitat will host a debate to explore this question based around a motion that “this house believes urban development strategies are not relevant to national poverty reduction strategies”. Those who think something can and should be done about the gap between reality and policy in this area will enjoy the event, which offers excellent opportunities for wide audience participation. Speakers include national and local government officials, slum dwellers and NGO representatives.
