Urbanisation in the global South is rapid and widespread, with many people living in sub-standard conditions. This book examines the relations between slum dwellers and the state in three cities, focusing on security, welfare, and political participation.

Urbanisation in the global South is occurring at a rate and scale that far surpasses what was witnessed in the north. Many individuals who reside in substandard conditions lack recognition of their rights as urban citizens and are unable to rely on formal democratic channels or governance structures to have their demands met. Consequently, the manner in which the state interacts with and is perceived by urban slum dwellers will play a crucial role in shaping future political and economic development. This book delves into the intricate relationships between slum dwellers and the state in three cities: Delhi, India; Durban, South Africa; and Nairobi, Kenya. By examining these relationships from both the state's and the slum dwellers' perspectives, the book focuses on three key state functions: security, welfare, and political participation.
