Competing for Urban Land in U.K

City planners mostly agree that poor people need to be better located in cities to improve their access to social amenities and economic opportunities. Living,
trading, or producing goods on better-located land also gives people access to markets, which locational opportunity improves the outlook for sustainable poverty alleviation.
