Upgrading in Lusaka: Participation and Physical Changes
Upgrading of squatter settlements was introduced as a policy in several African countries during the early seventies. A steadily increasing rate of the population in the rapidly growing cities was living in squatter settlements. Site and services schemes as well as low cost housing projects had failed to contribute to the housing of the poor. The squatter settlements reached such dimensions that the environmental problems had to be recognized. International organizations such as the World Bank began to support upgrading project by giving loans. One of the first large projects of this kind was carried out in Lusaka, Zambia. The Lusaka Housing Project is the common theme for the two separate articles in this volume. The first one concentrates on the physical aspects, discussing to what extent the physical changes are a real improvement of the environment of the inhabitants, while the second article analyzes the inhabitants' role in the implementation of the project.
