Slums are often economically vibrant. As different researchers indicate
that the general term of 'slum' describes urban areas that accommodate
dilapidated or run down or the worst and deteriorated housing,
predominantly by the low income community. In the developing world, one
out of every three people alive in the city lives in a slum (UN-Habitat,
2006/7). Nowadays, in excess of 1 billion citizens in developing nations
live in urban slum areas, and these locales exist as marginalized spaces
(Davis, 2006). Indeed, the prediction signifies that though this
container, the slum situation in most developing countries, for the most
part in Africa is increasing at an alarming rate is stated in (UN,
2009). This signifies little or no response to the claim for housing and
basic services in African cities. Therefore, proposition reversing our
consideration of urban development, taking the complicated habitat that
is the slum as the change with its system of an incremental development
of a city more hospitable to urban differences. The majority are
problems live in Slum dwellers in developing countries may be worse off
than in rural areas.
