Balancing Redevelopment and Preservation

The Challenges of Redevelopment

Slum Clearances: Improving or Displacing?

Slum clearances aim to replace informal settlements with modern housing and infrastructure.
However, they often displace vulnerable populations without providing affordable alternatives.

Note

Slum clearances can disrupt informal economies that sustain livelihoods. In Kibera, small businesses and community networks were severely affected.

Urban Redevelopment: Who Benefits?

Urban redevelopment often leads to gentrification, where rising property values exclude lower-income residents.

Note

It's a common misconception that redevelopment always benefits everyone. In reality, it often widens economic and social inequalities.

Green Space Loss: The Hidden Cost of Expansion

Urban expansion frequently consumes parks and forests, worsening environmental issues like the Urban Heat Island Effect (UHIE) and flooding risks.

Note

Tip

Preserving green spaces isn't just about aesthetics, it's essential for climate resilience and public health.
