The Human Rights in Cities. Handbook Series: Volume I: The Human Rights-Based Approach to Housing and Slum Upgrading

The Handbook advocates for the use of the Human Rights Based Approach in preventive measures (such as the provision of new housing stock and policy) as well as curative interventions (such as the upgrading of slums and informal settlements) in the planning and design, implementation, and the monitoring and evaluation phases. As such, it prioritizes re-focusing urban development priorities to those in vulnerable situations to ensure that they benefit from and are involved in strategies or combatting inequalities and segregation in towns and cities. Useful for national governments.
