Barcelona: Deprivation and Poverty
It is easy to think that poverty is an LIC (Low Income Country) problem and that
shanty towns only occur in LIC cities. The reality is that even within so-called

poor housing, often self-constructed.
Barcelona's areas of greatest deprivation are its inner city districts, such as El Raval, and the city edges. Deprivation and Poverty in Barcelona
