Beneath the Surface: Uncovering the Hidden Economies of Urban Poverty

In this episode, we explore the complex and often overlooked economies that sustain urban poverty, from the informal labor market to the illicit trade in goods and services. We'll examine the ways in which marginalized communities have developed innovative strategies to survive and thrive in the face of economic marginalization, and the role that these alternative economies play in shaping the urban landscape. Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of the resilience and resourcefulness of those living on the economic fringes of the city, as well as the systemic barriers that perpetuate urban poverty.
