Previously Now SLUM’S Solutions Slum clearance Slum upgrading drive the urban poor from their homes transform into well functioning neighborhoods bulldoze their shacks and their belongings Change physical environment Enable the poor to improve and expand their housing Slum Clearance in Jakarta from BBC news Slum upgrading in Jakarta from Cities Without Slum

Plan of Slum Improvement Programme at Durgapur, India by an Indian planner, JogenChowdhury Rearrange the houses with different types of housing. Add in elements of landscape and recreation http://principalsecretarysblog.blogspot.com
Conclusion The first image of Slum = Dirty = challenging to the planner and officers. Since it is challenging, we have to challenge it to turn a dirty place into the Utopia of the residents. From Slum clearance to slum upgrading, there are several cases in India and Indonesia to show us how successful of the slum upgrading. Night itself does not show any shape or contour, and only in the context of the fire was shining, and that one night will be shown with the contours of spaceby Jane Jacobs. Town planning, financial support and political support are the guarantee to the slum upgrading to bring a sweet home to those slum dweller. What we can do is: JUST DO IT and believe that IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING
