Abstract
This paper reviews Attacking Poverty with regard to its treatment of urban poverty. The central argument is that urbanization and urban poverty are increasingly important but are largely ignored in the report. Thus the dynamics of urban poverty are overlooked and the subsequent policy suggestions are subsequently weakened. The report's emphasis on empowerment misses the historically progressive nature of urbanization as a social force. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.Keywords
