520 1 $a"About one billion people now live in the slums of the towns and cities of the developing world, and their number is set to double by 2030 unless concerted efforts are made to the contrary. The official target for improving the living conditions of slum-dwellers falls far short of the numbers affected. Slum residents themselves are the major actors in upgrading their living environment, and there are many good examples of decentralized upgrading, but in order to improve the lives of much larger numbers, these examples need to be scaled-up." "This book examines how this can be done successfully, by investigating ten case studies and the lessons to be derived from those. These case studies cover a range of projects or programmes in different continents and focus on several issues that affect the lives of slum-dwellers, including housing, services provision, capacity building, and income generation. Each study incorporates an aspect of scaling-up and this book considers a range of scaling-up methods, including peer training, exchange visits, information networks, and appropriate communication."--BOOK JACKET.
