The analysis focuses on the history of migration of these residents in the neighborhoods, the view of the residents on their living conditions, the relations within the community and the perception of their evolution.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Among the lessons learned, we note that:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>60 % of the residents of these neighborhoods came to the city to find work.<\/li>\r\n<li>Between 87 % and 98 % of residents would not consider living elsewhere.<\/li>\r\n<li>49.6 % of residents surveyed report owning a home, but this does not mean that they have formal land title.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\">\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"wp-image-9061\" src=\"https:\/\/planete-eed.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/HaLI-Workshop-5-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/planete-eed.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/HaLI-Workshop-5-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/planete-eed.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/HaLI-Workshop-5-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/planete-eed.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/HaLI-Workshop-5-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/planete-eed.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/HaLI-Workshop-5.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\r\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size: 15px;\">An initial finding of the study is the importance of a local and specific response rather than a standardized approach to addressing the problems of the urban poor. Participants were also surprised to learn that residents prefer to stay in their neighborhoods rather than be relocated elsewhere.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size: 15px;\">\u00a0Finally, the study highlighted the strong relationships between community members, their perception of safety and their positive attitude toward change. All of these factors support the case for neighborhood renewal.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Workshop participants expressed a desire to learn more about specific issues such as:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Land tenure issues<\/li>\r\n<li>Existing facilities<\/li>\r\n<li>Community challenges such as drug use, child labor or violence issues.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">The workshop highlighted the importance of strengthening and improving relationships between all the actors involved in the issue.
