The New Urban Agenda envisages cities and human settlements that fulfil their social function. But what is a city’s “social function”? And how can the urban environment and its resources be re-imagined in such a way that cities and human settlements are able to perform their “social function”? This working paper answers these two questions by examining the livelihoods of informal workers in the urban environment.
