Reducing Urban Poverty

BBC World Service - The Forum, Reducing Urban Poverty

How to ensure people in deprived areas get secondary education and adequate nutrition

New ways to tackle urban poverty. With Quentin Cooper, Purnima Mane, Francis Nyamnjoh, Doug Rauch and Paula Daniels.

With half the world’s population now living in just 1% of the land area, urban poverty is a growing problem. We head to a gathering of leading global thinkers at the Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Centre, to explore practical and innovative ways to tackle the issue. Quentin Cooper is joined by population expert Purnima Mane, anthropologist professor Francis Nyamnjoh, former president of a chain of ethical grocery stores Doug Rauch, and food and water policy expert Paula Daniels.
