This book is about involving and engaging urban poor communities in
one of the first steps of any participatory planning or upgrading
initiative. It describes how we can use “participatory enumerations” a
surveying method used to gain better knowledge of the needs and
priorities of the community. It presents and analyses existing and novel
applications of participatory enumerations to enhance tenure security
and improve urban land management.
