Slum Upgrading and Participation is written by Ivo Imparato and published by World Bank Publications. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0821353705 (ISBN 10) and 9780821353707 (ISBN 13).
The UN currently estimates that there are about 837 million urban slum dwellers worldwide, and this figure is likely to rise to 1.5 billion by 2020 if current trends are not reversed. This book offers five geographically and institutionally diverse case studies from Latin America, where some of the longest-running and most successful programmes in this field have been conducted. These programmes, involving a wide variety of funding arrangements and agencies, demonstrate the positive impact that community participation and people-oriented service solutions can have on slum upgrading efforts in low income urban areas.
