How do you recognize rich and poor?

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 11 - 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).
