全世界目前有10亿人生活在贫民窟中，预测显示到2050年这一数字将增加三倍，因此，利益攸关方在履行新的全球城市、减贫和气候变化承诺方面所面临的巨大挑战是显而易见的。在非洲，城市增长几乎等同于贫民窟的增长，根深蒂固的不平等和贫困造成了多层面的风险积累，不仅威胁到非洲大陆履行新承诺的能力，而且也威胁到维持迄今取得的成就的能力。本文从实践者的角度出发，认为一个利用不足和资源不足的城市减少风险和建立秩序的战略是社区驱动的贫民窟改造。它表明，非洲城市在执行具有复原力的发展议程时，可以通过与有组织的社区建立伙伴关系，大大提高其执行能力。
With one billion people worldwide now living in slums and projections suggesting a threefold increase by 2050, the magnitude of implementation challenges facing stakeholders to new global urban, poverty-reduction and climate change commitments are clear. In Africa, where urban growth is almost synonymous with slum growth, entrenched inequality and impoverishment produces multidimensional risk accumulation and threatens the continent's ability not only to implement new commitments, but also to sustain the achievements made to date. This paper, developed from a practitioner viewpoint, argues that an under-utilized and under-resourced strategy for urban risk-reduction and resilience-building is community-driven slum upgrading. It suggests that African cities pursuing a resilient development agenda can significantly increase their implementation capacity through partnership with organized communities.
