Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) is the most urbanized region in the developing world: 76 percent of its current population of 527 million is urban and a third of its population is below the poverty line. Poverty in the region is urbanizing and so is extreme poverty. Up to 25 percent of the urban population, or 132 million people, live in slums. Nowhere else in the world is the urbanization of poverty more evident, and the increasing inequity and disparity threaten stability and sustainable development profoundly.
