Urban regeneration varies within the global North but global South contexts are more different. Rapid urbanisation, inertia of colonial development, unsustained urban investments have resulted in the extensive development of slums, most urban settlements unplanned. Thus urban transformation is seen as 'slum upgrading', needing an appropriate planning process. Yet, urban regeneration is a comprehensive and more sustainable engagement, its sub-mode, urban renewal only a physical form, itself having sub-modes, including redevelopment, renovation, rehabilitation, revitalisation, reinvigorisation, rejuvenation and slum upgrading.The monograph argues for an epistemology that integrates urban regeneration with slum transformation, addresses its engagement in terms of a reformed normative theory and appraises its institutional context relating practices in other realms and evolvement of related interventions in Ghana. Latest, is the Zongo and inner-city regeneration and development programme, which is assessed, using mostly primary data, in terms of its planning processes, institutional framework and actual output. Conclusions are drawn, some recommendations made for programme improvement.
