SUMMARY:Policy & Governance Contexts for Scalable Community-Led Slum Upgrading
DESCRIPTION:The presentation first addresses the policy and governance contexts for the scalability of community-led slum upgrading based on the Shack/Slum Dweller International methodology. The methodology is based on that of the Indian Alliance (NSDF\, Mahila Milan\, SPARC)\, which comprises community-based organizations and NGOs\, in partnership with government\, delivering municipal services\, securing tenure and promoting slum upgrading. The presentation continues with the role of the Pune and Mumbai community-led toilet block precedents in South-South knowledge exchange. \nAbout the speaker\nRichard Tomlinson is Chair in Urban Planning in the Faculty of Architecture Building and Planning at the University of Melbourne.
