UN-Habitat has published "A Practical Guide to Designing, Planning and Executing Citywide Slum Upgrading Programmes". It advocates a global, citywide process as opposed to piecemeal operations and provides methods and tools that allow local officials and field workers to not only improve the existing slums but also to anticipate and monitor their growth to avoid creating new ones.

This guide is the last in a trilogy published by UN-Habitat. It follows and completes: "Streets as Tools for Urban Transformation in Slums" and "A Training Module for Designing and Implementing Citywide Slum Upgrading".
