This cluster identifies policies, practices and rights which can, or have the potential to, ensure citizens with social security. In particular, the approaches in this cluster aim at increasing social security to most vulnerable urban citizens suffering from poverty. The main recurrent theme of the cluster is housing rights framed as a fundamental aspect of social security. Access to housing can be provided through formal procedures (e.g. existing law enforcement) as well as informal practices (e.g. squatting vacant spaces). Other fundamental aspects of social security are: access to food, essential health care, basic education and income. Generally, the cluster highlights that these aspects should be supported by governmental/public institutions, i.e. welfare system. However, there are numerous existing approaches where citizens, social movements and non-governmental organizations act to fill the gaps of an absent state and provide informal social security. | |||
