"Informal settlements are a pressing urban challenge in South Africa and elsewhere in the world. ... What would a progressive upgrading agenda for informal settlements entail, and how could it be achieved? In [this book] ... the editors argue that approaches which are participatory and incremental offer possibilities that are both radical and attainable. This agenda departs substantially from conventional housing delivery models, requiring a reassembling of policies, programming, practices and--most importantly--power. The 26 chapters of this book are written by researchers and practitioners from a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences, and explore various aspects of participatory and incremental upgrading. They cover a wide range of topics, from alternative infrastructure technologies to redesigned fiscal frameworks."--Back cover.
