Ciudades equitativas
Quality education, opportunities for all, wage
increases, workers protection, and national public
transfers have contributed to a significant reduction
of INEQUALITY in cities.

Significant changes in attitudes and beliefs, cultural

transformations and the emergence of a new ethos with
more open, participatory and better informed, or, in other
words, more democratic societies, have also contributed, to
some extent and in a different way, to inequality reduction.
The effects of inequality at a social, economic and political level remain
largely unknown.
INEQUITY
In conjunction with other factors, inequality has exacerbated
problems of crime and security.

Inequality is being discussed in increasingly explicit terms in the

political arena. International debates, partisan discussions and
government plans and strategies refer increasingly to the concept.
Organized, and more educated, civil society understands the
relevance of equity and is advocating the development of a fairer
society. It is quite clear that the concept is becoming increasingly
prominent in development discourse and policies. However, the
debate on the way in which equity is defined, measured, promoted
and applied is still in its embryonic stages.

Governments could grant a specific status to citizens demand

for greater equality, through a more active social policy.
