Community-led Upgrading

Community-Led Upgrading is a slum upgrading approach in which the design, implementation, and governance of urban improvement interventions are primarily directed by resident communities through participatory decision-making processes, distinguishing it from state- or market-driven models by prioritizing local agency, knowledge, and control.
