Scenarios

What could be the possible scenarios and intervention tactics to address the different informal housing stages?

The following table lists the informal housing consolidation stages and sets out scenarios, proposes spe-cific actions as possible solutions to the existing problems and, lists tools that can be used for each one of those actions.

Both actions and tools are linked to the community's participatory and resilient work. Therefore, they are complex systems that must be deepen studied and applied in a contextualized manner.
