Urban Poverty

About the partnership

The objectives of the Partnership were to contribute to the reduction of poverty and to improve the inclusion of people in poverty or at risk of poverty in deprived neighbourhoods. Urban poverty requires solutions that need to be designed and applied to integrated approaches: 1/ Place-based solutions: urban regeneration of deprived neighbourhoods and 2/ People-based solutions: socio-economic integration of specific population groups (focus on children).
