Abstract
Monitoring the percentage of urban residents dwelling in slums (referred to as the urban slum population percentage) is crucial for enhancing living conditions in cities. Despite its importance, there is a notable lack of research that maps this indicator on a global scale. Addressing this gap, our study aims to graphically represent the urban slum population percentage alongside the absolute numbers of the urban slum population worldwide. This analysis was conducted by synthesizing statistical data from a variety of sources. Our findings indicate that countries with a high urban slum population percentage are predominantly situated in Africa, with India having the most substantial absolute slum-dwelling population. Our research offers a comprehensive global viewpoint, underscoring the imperative to improve urban living conditions.
