Sustainable development in slum settlements can only be achieved if these areas are integrated into the public administration of the city. Public facilities are run by residents through neighbourhood organisations in close cooperation with local authorities. The programme also supports local bodies elected by the slum residents. These elected representatives actively participate in the political life of the city.
