Various slum upgrading interventions have been implemented by numerous institutions to improve conditions of slum residents. It however remains unclear the extent to which the social diversity of slum residents is integrated in slum interventions. This paper thus assesses different slum upgrading approaches and methodologies to ascertain the extent to which they consider residents' diversity. Undertaking comprehensive desk review of relevant literature and adapting Fraser's ‘tripartite’ approach to social justice, the paper analyses three slum upgrading interventions in Kenya, Brazil and Thailand. The paper revealed that interventions in Kenya and Brazil implicitly aimed at ensuring spatial order and hence, focused majorly on physical projects with minimal focus on identifying and incorporating the diverse needs of residents. This resulted in the non- or minimal use of delivered projects. Contrary to this, the diverse needs of residents were considered and adequately reflected in the case of Thailand. The consideration of diversity in the slum upgrading interventions was observed to fundamentally stem from project objectives set by the implementing institutions. The paper concludes that policy interventions to improve conditions of slums should acknowledge the diverse needs of residents and the intersectional nature of the different social identities.

许多机构已经实施了各种贫民窟改造干预措施，以改善贫民窟居民的条件。但是，目前尚不清楚贫民窟居民的社会多样性在贫民窟干预措施中的整合程度。因此，本文评估了不同的贫民窟改造方法和方法，以确定他们在多大程度上考虑了居民的多样性。本文对相关文献进行了全面的案头审查，并采用弗雷泽（Fraser）的“三方”方法来实现社会公正，分析了肯尼亚，巴西和泰国的三种贫民窟改造干预措施。该文件显示，在肯尼亚和巴西的干预措施隐含着确保空间秩序的目的，因此主要集中在有形项目上，而很少关注于识别和吸收居民的各种需求。这导致没有或很少使用已交付项目。与此相反，在泰国的情况下，居民的多样化需求得到了考虑并得到了充分体现。据认为，贫民窟改造干预措施对多样性的考虑从根本上源于执行机构制定的项目目标。本文的结论是，改善贫民窟条件的政策干预措施应承认居民的各种需求以及不同社会身份的交叉性。据认为，贫民窟改造干预措施对多样性的考虑从根本上源于执行机构制定的项目目标。本文的结论是，改善贫民窟条件的政策干预措施应承认居民的各种需求以及不同社会身份的交叉性。据认为，贫民窟改造干预措施对多样性的考虑从根本上源于执行机构制定的项目目标。本文的结论是，改善贫民窟条件的政策干预措施应承认居民的各种需求以及不同社会身份的交叉性。
