Limitedinvestment, rapid urbanization, macroeconomic pressures and crisesdriven loss of homes are among the factors that have contributedto current shortcomings. The latest global estimates now make thesituation unmistakably clear. Up to 3.4 billion people worldwide areestimated to be living without secure, safe, and adequate housing, ofwhich over 1 billion reside in informal settlements and slums, facingacute threats daily including insecure tenure, overcrowding, exposureto natural hazards, and the absence of essential services like safelymanaged sanitation. Given its magnitude, the global housing crisis mustbe addressed as a matter of critical urgency for the sake of humanity nowand in the future. Yet,notwithstanding the universally recognized right to adequatehousing, the world remains far from resolving this crisis. Even duringperiods of global commitment to action, first under the MillenniumDevelopment Goals and later the Sustainable Development Goals,adequate housing shortages have intensified rather than diminished. Theglobal deficit increased from 251 million units in 2010 to 288 millionin 2023.

Further, urban evictions remain pervasive but are poorlydocumented and frequently go unreported.

The consequences for affectedhouseholds are profound, destroying livelihoods and pushing alreadyvulnerable populations into deeper poverty.

From access to employment and public services to legal recognition and socialnetworks, housing plays a central role in shaping well-being and quality of life for everyoneeverywhere. This is why housing is the roof of the Sustainable Development Goals, andprogress towards its global targets is inextricably linked to our ability to ensure adequatehousing for all, and especially the transformation of informal settlements and slums. The consequences are wide-ranging and enduring. As this edition ofthe World Cities Report illustrates, adequate housing is not merelyabout shelt
