Brief #1: Principles of Engagement for the City Learning Platform. Free Town, Sierra Leone: Sierra Leone Urban Research Centre (SLURC).

This ‘practitioner brief’ presents an example of current partnerships around the issues of informal settlement upgrading. It is a non-academic paper that records the principles agreed by diverse actors to work together for a common agenda.

Patel, S., d’Cruz, C. and Burra, S. (2007) ‘An offer of partnership or a promise of conflict in Dharavi, Mumbai?’, Environment & Urbanization, 19(2), pp. 501–508 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/ abs/10.1177/0956247807082832

This is a more critical discussion of how partnerships can generate problematic relationships given asymmetries of power between actors. Through open letters across stakeholders and the exposure of a grounded case, this reading opens up important questions about partnerships.
