Entitled “Inclusive Decision-Making in the Processes of Urban Redevelopment, Displacement and Resettlement in Addis Ababa”, the research conducted by Yonas Alemayehu Soressa explores the many challenges resulting from large-scale urban redevelopment projects which have displaced more than 25,000 households in Addis Ababa. Arguing the importance of considering city making as a continuous process that involves contributions of various actors in the planning, implementation, and management in a cyclic manner, the research explores the integrated processes that should be articulated to guarantee sustainable outcomes. This should take into account different phases of urban redevelopment-displacement-resettlement processes, reviewing the legislative, institutional and planning frameworks as well as processes and levels of participation of the various stakeholders, particularly those directly affected by redevelopment-induced displacement. With recognition of how current debates on the issue primarily focus on the effects of relocation rather than the factors leading to those effects, the dissertation looks into the relationship between the unintended outcomes and the unsustainable practices in the planning and implementation, particularly in the area of inclusive decision-making. The final output of this study will not only make up Work Package 2, but also serve as a valuable resource for public leaders, policy makers, advisors, practicing professionals, academia, and other members of society who are involved in the pursuit of a more sustainable urban development.
