Methodology for a Sustainable Urban Regeneration: Urban Cell as Dissemination Unit
Accelerated urbanisation in developing countries is creating an unyielding pressure on existing urban areas.This reality is leading to the widespread growth of informal settlements,that is,urban areas without infrastructures and property titles.According to the United Nations,Sub-Saharan African Region are showing the worst scenario,with 55%of the population still living in informal settlements in 2014.Different approaches and strategies have been applied but the scale of the problem,the lack of financial resources and the political instability are the major constraints.Urban regeneration actions is fully dependent on the States decisions and resources,which delay the process and,sometimes,show inadequacy to economic,social and environmental conditions.Yet,developing countries represent a “tabula rasa opportunity for the implementation of good practices within the urban and built environment.After a literature review on urban regeneration approaches,this paper sets out the analytical and methodological framework applied to Luanda metropolitan plan(Angola).Understanding the importance of a practical perspective,a Geographic Information System(GIS)approach,based on the delimitation of urban cells,is adopted as tool for regeneration dissemination process across the city.The aim is to combine strategy and action into a model where the State is the promoter of regeneration programs that are developed by the private sector and the population,considering mechanisms to implement a self-empowerment process.This research aims to support the design and implementation of sustainable solutions for urban regeneration in developing countries.
