What is Urban Upgrading? Upgrading - or slum improvement as it is also called - in low income urban communities is many things, but at its simplest it has come to mean a package of basic services: access, clean water supply and adequate sewage disposal to improve the well-being of the community.

Universal Design Urban Upgrading Fundamentally it is legalizing and ‘regularizing’ urban environmental properties in situations of insecure or unclear tenure.

Universal Design Urban Upgrading It is a “Universal” approach to the overall and sustainable improvement of the environment for all.

Upgrading customarily provides a package of improvements in streets, footpaths and drainage as well.

The physical improvement is only the beginning: Facilities programming are offered to increase income earning opportunities and the general economic health of a community. Upgrading is the start to becoming a recognized citizen. R

What is needed to make Upgrading work? The most important element for success is commitment by all: the city, the community, and the families. A sense of partnership must be developed among them. Secondly upgrading must meet a real need - people must want it and understand the value.

What is needed to make Upgrading work?

Implementation will require getting the institutional arrangements right: > give incentives for agencies to work with the poor, > keep everyone informed and coordinate between stakeholders > define clearly the roles of the various agencies. > keep upgrading going, sustainability concerns must be a priority in financing, institutions, and regulations.

What are the benefits of Upgrading? The benefits are simply that people obtain an improved, healthy and secure living environment without being displaced. Recognizing title and security of tenure makes a positive contribution to both the economic prospects of the poor, as well as to the national economy. Experience has shown that urban upgrading projects are associated with social and economic benefits that are particularly high.
