slum upgrading

Slum upgrading refers to a process aimed at improving living conditions in informal settlements, or slums, where people often lack basic services like clean water, sanitation, and safe shelter. This approach involves not just physical improvements, such as building better homes and infrastructure, but also enhancing access to education, healthcare, and livelihoods. The goal is to uplift communities, promote social inclusion, and create a healthier environment, all while ensuring that residents participate in the planning and development, fostering a sense of ownership and sustainability in the improvements made.
