AbstractInequalities within and between countries continue to grow as a result of globalization. Although traditional anti‐poverty efforts from governments and NGOs have had their respective successes, poverty continues to exist in every country, particularly in rural areas where there are fewer resources to support socioeconomic development. Private enterprises may use their strengths, including market knowledge and accessibility to various resources, to develop innovative business models that can provide viable and effective solutions to social problems such as poverty. This article examines a case study of a poverty alleviation initiative by Jingdong (JD). The results indicate that JD utilizes industrial poverty alleviation to empower local enterprises. Through the use of education and training, finance, and employment support, JD builds an ecosystem that provides local enterprises high‐quality employees and reliable logistics with which to conduct business. As a result, the JD model enables local enterprises to compensate farmers with sufficient wages that can reduce poverty and improve their well‐being, creating a mutually beneficial solution for all stakeholders. The findings demonstrate the potential of a private enterprise to reduce poverty in a way that might not be otherwise independently achieved by government and NGOs.

Poverty has been one of the most acute social issues in the history of mankind. After the founding of the People's Republic of China (the PRC), the Chinese Communist Party and the government adopted the eradication of poverty and the pursuit of common prosperity as their mission and goal. The practice of poverty eradication has gone through three stages, i.e. relief based poverty alleviation, system reform based poverty alleviation and targeted poverty alleviation. This article aims to provide Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions for the world and especially for developing countries by reviewing the history of poverty eradication since the founding of the PRC and summarizing the great achievements in this sphere since the 18th National Congress of the CPC.

SYNOPSISAs a consequence of severe flooding in May 1979 and resultant public pressure, Wessex Water prepared an outline flood alleviation scheme for the river Brit at Bridport, Dorset. Restrictions in capital investment necessitated the works being undertaken in six stages.The river system through the urban area was mathematically modelled using Hydraulic Research's FLUCOMP 1, which demonstrated that flood alleviation works could be carried out in the very restricted valley bottom. In order to confirm design assumptions a physical model of the most restricted area was commissioned from Hydraulics Research Ltd (HR).The paper demonstrates the benefit of close liaison between designers and modellers to ensure that the most cost‐effective and technically feasible scheme is provided.

In this paper, an attempt has been made to examine extent of urban poverty in India. Further, it has been sought to analyze various dimensions, issues, of urban poverty and also factors responsible for prevalence of poverty in urban areas. An attempt has also been made to review urban poverty alleviation programmes and suggest new approaches for its eradication. Mainly secondary sources of data have been used.
