  7. Outcome of Policy Dialogue Workshop Discussion • Articulating the legitimacy of informal settlement upgrading based on historical context and structural limitations, social inequality • Pro-active and citywide/comprehensive approach to upgrading/development: consider livelihoods, affordable housing, community development, public space, and understanding the role of informal settlement in broader metropolitan area • Urban informal settlement requires a distinct set of methods and tools, unique from rural and peri-urban upgrading experience • Agreeing on planning and infrastructure standards, appropriate vs. sub-standards, planning for long term asset management

  8. Outcome of Policy Dialogue Workshop Discussion • Building for resilience: grounding upgrading in risk assessment, reconsidering in-situ upgrading where risks outweigh benefits • Community participation and engagement: understanding local conditions, contracting locally, monetizing community assets, incorporating a gender dimension • Partnerships: multi-stakeholder platform working across government departments, engaging community, NGOs and private sector is essential • Common Data & Measurement: Agreeing on definitions of key concepts such as “urban” and “informal”, enhancing the 2020 censuses now being designed, fast-tracking project due diligence by establishing a credible database • Sector Capacity Building: learning, training, certification grounded in regional experiences and practice • Capturing a uniquely Caribbean approach to informal settlement upgrading, reflecting the varied experience and commonalities
