The Alexandra Renewal Project (ARP) in South Africa has been awarded the United Nations Scroll of Honour award at the World Habitat Day 2009 held in Washington, D.C. The ARP was initiated in 2001 as a regeneration project of the urban township north of Johannesburg. The project is a key component of the South African government’s approach to addressing urbanisation and housing challenges and comprises the integrated development of an area grappling with economic, social, and physical challenges. To date, the ARP has seen over 7,000 families relocated from the banks of Jukskei – a polluted local river – to settlements where living conditions are better.
