Inclusive Urban Development in the Global South emphasizes the importance of the neighbourhood in urban development planning, with case studies aimed at transforming current intervention practices towards more inclusive and just means of engagement with individuals and communities. The chapters explore how diversity of gender, class, race and ethnicity, citizenship status, age, ability, and sexuality is taken (or not taken) into account and approached in the planning and implementation of development policy and interventions in poor urban areas. The book employs a practical perspective on the deployment of theoretical critiques of intersectionality and diversity in development practice through case studies examining issues such as water and sanitation planning in Dhaka, indigenous rights to the city in Bolivia, post-colonial planning in Hong Kong, land reform in Zimbabwe, and many more. The book focuses on radical alternatives with the potential to foster urban transformations for planning and development communities working around the world.

Über Autor(innen)

Andrea Rigon is an Associate Professor at the Bartlett Development Planning Unit of University College London and a founder of the Sierra Leone Urban Research Centre. His professional and research work focuses on how power relations affect the participation of different people and social groups in decision-making processes. He is particularly interested in how residents’ participation is managed within urban development projects, particularly in informal settlements, and what the effects are on in/equality and social exclusion. He has worked to include an intersectional perspective into participatory design and to incorporate participatory approaches in the drafting and implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. His latest project was about co-designing built interventions with children affected by displacement.
