Abstract

Favela Dique da Vila Gilda is located in a complex region, having large areas of valuable natural environments which are put under pressure by the rapid urbanization processes. The slum areas in the region, among other Vila Gilda, are together with the industrial areas the main polluters of the environments. In turn, this is also affecting the living environments of the favelas themselves. Current slum upgrading projects do not respond well to the living and environmental problems, and often result in fragmented iverse local interventions, executed by a various stakeholders. This research project aims to propose an integrated strategic framework for slum upgrading, that could be used to coordinate en integrate these developments.
