The Asian Development Bank is committed to the reduction of poverty as a strategic objective in its mission. The present volume contains a set of papers, which emanated from the research project on urban poverty. It comes as a sequel to an earlier volume, which was the outcome of the research on rural poverty. The two volumes together serve as a convenient reference on critical poverty issues in developing Asia.
