Civic movements and networks as well as international organisations such as UN-Habitat have over the past years persuaded many governments in the global South to shift their policies on urban slums.

These changes serve to attract economic enclaves and price out the poorest settlement residents concomitant with standard forms of gentrification. However, changes in the neighbourhood character is now manifestin the economic, social and cultural indicators of gentrification, albeit a kind of gentrification specific to conditions of informality in the global South.
