Locally Led Planning

A GUIDE FOR BUILDING CLIMATE RESILIENCE IN URBAN INFORMAL SETTLEMENTS

GUIDES AND METHODS

Explore in-depth discussions of key practices and methodologies as well as practical considerations for translating concepts to your context

G uides and Methods are organized by theme (e.g. Roles; Community Co-planning; etc) and modularized by topic so that you can more easily pick and choose what is most relevant for your work. Each theme includes one or more Guide and/or Method. Guides and Methods are PDF documents that you can view online or download and print.

Guides discuss key practices in-depth. These concepts are highly sensitive to local context — each guide, therefore, includes practical considerations for translating concepts to your context as well as relevant case studies.

Methods are detailed methodologies that can be more directly replicated across cities and countries and aid the undertaking of concepts discussed in Guides. They also include examples of relevant materials like data collection tools.
