description This paper analyzes the current situation of urban poverty in Latin America, its territorial and economic implications, as well as the social policies related to it. Based on the conceptual framework of poverty and city, it attempts to clarify the nature, causes, and consequences of urban poverty compared to rural poverty. Further, it provides an overview of the characteristics and conditions of urban poverty in Latin America from a multidimensional perspective. Lastly, it examines the social policies driven by Latin American countries with the aim to not only overcome urban poverty but also contribute to social inclusion, as well as to build strategies and effective programs in the era of sustainable development. In short, social policies should be established using comprehensive strategies or programs depending on the historical, political, economic and social contexts and based on a redefinition of urban poverty.
