Urban regeneration has emerged as a tool for (re)planning of cities and towns around the world. It has over the years been applied in correcting urban dysfunctionalities such us urban decay, economic obsolescence as well as social deprivation. This work focuses on urban regeneration as an approach in slum transformation. In this work, 322 respondents making up the sample frame were systematically sampled from the Ashaiman slum settlement in Ghana. These respondents were made up of household heads. The various groups identified within the community were based on: places of origin; locations of residences; places of work; income levels; and employment statuses. It was found that, the tendency to support or oppose the implementation of urban regeneration had a significant relation with where a person belonged within the groups outlined above. The findings of this work are pivotal to any sustainable slum transformation in Ghana and beyond especially in African countries sharing similar traits because they inform that slum residents are open to accept a policy like UR which they expect to bring a lasting solution to their plight. The findings also provide answers as to how UR should be implemented in order to record a positive outcome.

城市更新已成为（重新）规划世界各地城镇的一种工具。多年来，它已被应用于纠正城市功能失调，例如我们的城市衰败、经济陈旧以及社会剥夺。这项工作的重点是将城市更新作为贫民窟改造的一种方法。在这项工作中，构成样本框架的 322 名受访者从加纳的 Ashaiman 贫民窟定居点系统地抽样。这些受访者由户主组成。社区内确定的各种群体基于： 来源地；居住地点；工作地点；收入水平；和就业状况。研究发现，支持或反对实施城市更新的倾向与一个人属于上述群体的位置有显着关系。这项工作的发现对于加纳及其他地区的任何可持续贫民窟改造至关重要，尤其是在具有相似特征的非洲国家，因为它们表明贫民窟居民愿意接受像 UR 这样的政策，他们希望能够为他们的困境带来持久的解决方案。调查结果还提供了关于如何实施 UR 以记录积极结果的答案。
