The paper documents the development of a collaborative regeneration strategy for a marginalised community in Cape Town that was led by a Non-Profit Company (NPC). NPC’s vision for the strategy was to incorporate key inputs from the community to unlock the economic potential of the area and promote upliftment. A case study methodology was adopted which included a series of interviews and community engagement workshops. The research aimed to identify the key ingredients required to drive collaborative urban regeneration in marginalised communities in the global south. The study established that in the absence of effective leadership and service delivery from local authorities the community feel disenfranchised as their community is not seen as an immediate priority. There was a deep-rooted mistrust in the process being driven by the NPC and the visioning process was met with resistance and suspicion. The engagement process lacked depth/scope and reflected a top-down approach. It is concluded that fundamental ingredients for effective collaborative urban regeneration is trust between the key stakeholders, a diverse assortment of expertise and skills, and an in-depth engagement process. Without these factors urban regeneration is likely to only entrench the complex urban issues it seeks to reconcile.

该文件记录了由非营利公司（NPC）领导的开普敦一个边缘化社区的协作再生策略的开发。全国人大对该战略的愿景是吸收社区的重要投入，以释放该地区的经济潜力并促进发展。通过了案例研究方法，其中包括一系列访谈和社区参与研讨会。该研究旨在确定在全球南方边缘化社区中推动城市协同合作的关键要素。该研究确定，由于缺乏地方当局的有效领导和服务，该社区感到被剥夺了权利，因为他们的社区并未被视为当务之急。全国人大推动这一进程存在根深蒂固的不信任，远见进程遭到阻力和怀疑。参与过程缺乏深度/范围，反映了自上而下的方法。结论是，有效的城市协同更新的基本要素是关键利益相关者之间的信任，各种各样的专业知识和技能以及深入的参与过程。没有这些因素，城市更新很可能只会巩固它试图调和的复杂城市问题。以及深入的参与过程。没有这些因素，城市更新很可能只会巩固它试图调和的复杂城市问题。以及深入的参与过程。没有这些因素，城市更新很可能只会巩固它试图调和的复杂城市问题。
