Slum Upgrading and Housing Alternatives for the Poor

Abstract

Slums and informal settlements continue to proliferate in cities and towns across Africa. The chapter summarizes the tenets of the twin-track approach to improving living conditions of existing slums and preventing the formation of new slums. Various mechanisms for housing provision to low-income households are explored with lessons learned from successful initiatives in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
