MDG agreed eight millennium development goals, the one aimed at tackling poverty in the world. An increasing number of the world's population that is accompanied with an increase in the population of the city and increase the number of urban poor has made the burden of urban environment more heavy. The problem is, poverty and environmental degradation is a major obstacle in the development of urban areas. Discussion methods of this analysis is that the inductive method, by taking the empirical data obtained through reports in the field, then analyzes the discussion include: poverty is deprivation, which is the condition of lacking everything necessary for the well-being (the experience of good quality of life).

Examples of environmental damage, which until now could not be avoided is air pollution due to traffic congestion, loss of mangrove forests in the coastal areas, shrinkage of wetlands, shrinking green space, land subsidence, pollution of river water and groundwater. In conclusion, the above description shows that the problem of poverty that affect the lives of poor housing environment needs to be repaired or replaced, so that poverty and environmental damage settlement as happens in large cities can be reduced gradually, and the process of sustainable development can take place.
