How do you recognize rich and poor?

Subjective observation:

By looking at houses, infrastructure (roads, etc.) and people's belongings.
On holiday, by looking at photographs or watching documentaries.
This could lead to wrong conclusions.

Objective data:

Development indicators.

Slide 15 - Slide

Rich and poor on different scales

Global scale level: Rich and poor countries (North - South division).
National scale level: Cities and countryside (regions).
Regional disparities = Differences in the level of development between regions in one country.
Local scale level: City centre / rich neighbourhoods and informal cities. People move from the countryside to the city = rural-urban migration.
'Slum' has a negative connotation, just like 'Third world country'. We therefore use the word informal city (= poor neighbourhood in a city).
