In this Global Report, the United Nations Centre for Human Settlements (Habitat) draws on specially commissioned and contributed background papers from more than 80 leading international specialists. The report focuses on recent trends in human settlements and their implications for poverty, inequity and social polarization. It develops advance knowledge for urban planning and management policies in support and promotion of inclusive cities and good urban governance. This major and influential report is the most authoritative and up-to-date assessment of human settlements conditions and trends. Written in clear, non-technical language and supported by informative graphics, case studies and extensive statistical data, it should be an essential tool and reference for academics, researchers, planners, public authorities and civil society organizations around the world. 606 $aHuman settlements 606 $aUrbanization 606 $aUrban policy 606 $aMunicipal services 606 $aUrban poor 606 $aGlobalization 615 0$aHuman settlements. 615 0$aUrbanization. 615 0$aUrban policy. 615 0$aMunicipal services. 615 0$aUrban poor. 615 0$aGlobalization. 676 $a307.76 712 02$aUnited Nations Centre for Human Settlements. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828998503321 996 $aCities in a globalizing world$93924581 997 $aUNINA
