In the late 20th century, different processes led to creation of a new phenomenon called

“Poverty of Cities" which is a reflection of informal residing. The consequences of this fact due mainly to the unskilled villagers coming to cities increasingly and a failure in economic adjustment in 1980s that slowed down the rate of development resulted in an increase in the number of valnerable social levels especially in developing countries . Therefore the poverty center was gradually transferred and focused in to the big cities.

Mean while, the globalization reinforced the employment and economic activities in big cities in nationwide scales, and left a wonderful effect.

The balanced economy depends on development stability of city dwelling and this fact will be accessed only if the cities become a source of comprehensive productivity, both economically and socially, so that all society levels draw benefit of this development.

It is necessary not to mention informal residing as an obstacle to development since it is considered as a social and economic capital, and it should be empowered.

It is believed that achieving an economic development depends on reducing poverty in these areas.

This fact was stated and focused in Rio Meeting and Human Residing
