But increasing urbanisation has led to many more new slum-dwellers, meaning the total number now living in crowded, substandard housing - often without safe drinking water and sanitation - has increased by nearly 55 million people since 2000. The worldwide number of slum-dwellers now stands at 827 million and is on course to grow to 889 million by 2020.

Although north Africa made considerable progress reducing slum numbers, the 34 sub-Saharan African countries between them only improved the living conditions of 17 million slum-dwellers in the last decade. These countries now have virtually 200 million people - over 60% of their populations - living in slums. This proportion was only a slight improvement on 2000 figures. Continual Chinese and Indian economic growth has radically reduced the numbers of people living in unacceptable housing in those countries but the most improved countries were Indonesia, Morocco and Argentina, which each reduced their slum populations by more than 40%.
