Slum redevelopment is an urban planning strategy focused on transforming informal settlements into planned, sustainable communities by providing better housing, infrastructure, and essential services.
It's necessary to address critical issues like inadequate housing, poor sanitation, poverty, and lack of basic services, thereby improving residents' quality of life and fostering urban integration.
Main challenges include securing adequate financing, managing potential displacement, ensuring community participation, addressing land acquisition complexities, and maintaining sustainability post-redevelopment.
Benefits include access to improved housing, sanitation, education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. This leads to enhanced social equity, better living standards, and overall urban sustainability.
Key stakeholders typically include government bodies, local residents, private developers, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), urban planners, and sometimes international aid agencies.
