The challenges of urban poverty are growing every year. This book makes a case for approaches to urban development that are locally driven and which complement the vast investments and efforts of slum dwellers themselves. It discusses a range of approaches for achieving that, focusing on practical experiences and clear lessons for the future. This publication would be of interest for development practitioners, donors, funding agencies, academics and students interested in this field.
