Abstract:
This paper focuses on issues affecting urban slums worldwide and analyzes its close relation with poverty conditions. The statistics from the United Nations Agency UN-Habitat evinces the relevancy of this topic. According to the Agency studies there are currently more than 1.100 million inhabitants from developing regions living in slums. In addition, in the next decade it is estimated to remain a steady increase reaching nearly 1.400 million by 2020, which account for the 40% of the total population of these areas.
The research aims to identify to what extent Basic Habitability policies and strategies - considered as the satisfaction of at least the most elementary conditions of shelter and basic services access - can contribute to cope this problem and evaluate whether or not this global trend in terms of precarious Habitability is result of the application of the Official Development Assistance model addressed to Habitability. The field of study is extremely complex and extensive, covering the bases of both poverty and Human Development, the effects of the demographic and urban growth figures and the control of the Millennium Development Goals and the Official Development Assistance parameters. Therefore, to deal with the study of this tough situation, first it is required deepen over the bases of Human Development and Basic Habitability, then reflect on the involvement of the latter in some of the main goals of the Millennium Development Goals, and finally analyze its link with the Official Development Assistance in order to elaborate an indicator to diagnose accurately the situation and implement more effective tools for policy design aimed to Habitability issues.
