Urbanization and city development are key drivers of slum populations, but ultimately per capita income growth is likely the path to eliminating slums.
Very interesting. I think this pattern also relates to rate of urbanization (c) and rate of urban growth (partly b) the way Chinmay Tumbe talks about it.
I wonder how this relates to the structure and spatial distribution of economic activity - e.g., having few economically important cities vs many such cities, manufacturing vs service industries etc.
