      abstract = {The population of the developing world is becoming more  urban. Are poverty and
undernutrition beginning to relocate  to urban areas as well? We use survey data on
poverty (from  8 countries) and on child undernutrition (from 14  countries) to address this
question. Using data from the  past 15-20 years, we find that in a majority of countries  the
absolute number of poor and undernourished individuals  living in urban areas has
increased, as has the share of  poverty and undernourishment coming from urban areas.
Given  these trends and the current stock of knowledge as to the  levels, determinants, and
solutions to urban poverty and  undernutrition, we argue for more research on these  issues.},
