| description | Both the United Nations and the World Bank consider participatory slum improvement to be the current best practice for dealing with slum challenges.
10% of the population in Buenos Aires live in slum areas. Many of the residents work informally and are therefore unable to get the documents needed to get a house contract outside the Slums. Lago Soldati is a Lake next to Los Piletones, a slum in the southern outskirts of Buenos Aires. The city has an ongoing project for restoration of the lake and environmental and spatial improvements in the area. The city describes the project as a good example for other slum upgrading projects.
The thesis deals with participatory aspects of the project together with theories regarding civil participation in slum development. Researchers describe desirable levels of participation of slum dwellers in the different stages of a project together with facts about which groups that should be involved. The chosen project is analysed according to levels of participation, the groups that participated and also how the participation plan was done and the result of the used participatory approach.
The project has been influenced by the political landscape in the country, which has contributed in making the project possible, but the political landscape has also influenced the participatory work in the project and caused conflicts with different groups. The project shows the World Banks power in influencing the participatory projects. They are an important financer with demands regarding the degree of civil participation. |

Enligt både FN och Världsbanken är arbetet med aktiv delaktighet i slumförbättringsprojekt det bästa sättet att hantera slumproblematik idag. 10% av befolkningen i Buenos Aires bor i slumområden. Många av invånarna arbetar informellt och kan därför inte få de handlingar som behövs för att få ett kontrakt utanför slummen (Ekonomen, 2014). Sjön Lago Soldati är belägen bredvid slumområdet Los Piletones, som ligger i södra utkanten av Buenos Aires. Staden har ett pågående projekt med att restaurera sjön samt förbättra miljön och närområdet kring sjön. Staden beskriver projektet som ett gott exempel för andra projekt för slumuppgradering. Uppsatsen behandlar aspekter kring delaktighet i projektet tillsammans med teorier om slumutveckling och medborgardialog. Forskare beskriver önskvärda nivåer av deltagande i de olika stegen av ett projekt tillsammans med vilka grupper som bör vara involverade. Det valda projektet analyseras utifrån nivå av deltagande, grupper som deltagit och hur planerna för medborgardialogen sett ut. Projektet har påverkats av det politiska landskapet i landet, vilket både har bidragit till att göra projektet möjligt, men också påverkat medborgardialogen negativt och orsakat konflikter med olika grupper. Projektet visar på Världsbankens makt att påverka slummens utveckling och delaktighet inom projekt för slumuppgradering, eftersom de är en viktig finansiär som ställer krav vad gäller dialog.
