The gap between the world's haves and have-nots was put in blunt terms on the opening day of the World Urban Forum (WUF) in Baku on Sunday, when Slovakia's Deputy Prime Minister Tomas Taraba said that while 80% of Slovaks own their home, some countries see ownership rates as low as 20%.
"This creates a really big disruption in the social quality of living," Taraba told Euronews, "and the increasing prices are an extremely big topic at this moment."
