Community Participation in Urban Rehabilitation

Budd Community,

How are you doing today.

Community as we know is very difficult to define as they are very complex and multi dimensional in nature. According to one author, we may not even know all the communities we belong to as communities interwoven and cross sectional within a defined area and beyond.

I will like to know if you have recently discovered the new community "Sulukule Platform" which we now belong to.

Whenever people, professionals, political leaders, etc identify with a particular course, then community is formed. As we know from our days in the DPU, we have different types of communities which include communities of culture, communities of interest, communities of place, communities of religion, etc.

The organization of communities can be very vital to the implementation of any project and the investigation of all spheres of a community is recommended for a people involved, bottom-up and participatory approach which we intend to explore within our study area.

We must thank the group on community for the detailed SWOT analysis and Timeline below as an addition to our Knowledge and basic tool for engaging this unique community:

Community must be viewed as multicultural and not mono-cultural in nature (Cabannes, E, 2008).

In your own understanding what is Community?....................................review
