To fully compare the political economy and ecological perspectives a description of the “urban question” allows the reader to better understand the divergent schools of thought. For Social Science scholars, from a variety of disciplines, the “urban question” asks how space and the urban or city are related (The City Reader, 2009).

First, the „always poor‟ or „chronic poor‟ group who remained poor through both periods constituted 31 per cent of the sampled households; second, the „never poor‟, who stayed out of poverty through both the periods, represented 25 per cent; third, the „ascending households‟ were the ones who escaped from poverty, and these represented 26 per cent of the households; and finally, the „descending households‟, who descended into poverty, represented 18 per cent of the sample. The difference of eight per cent between the share of the „ascending‟ and the „descending‟ households is the net change in poverty during this period.
