Dignified housing
is rooted in the belief that every person has the right to a decent and secure home where individuals and families can maintain a healthy quality of life. Globally, these concerns are expressed under two interrelated Sustainable Development Goals (SDG); namely SDG7- ‘ensure access to affordable, safe, sustainable and modern energy for all’- and SDG11 - ‘ensure sustainable cities and communities’. Despite these targets, access to energy and dignified housing is unequal in cities of the global South where rapid growth occurs through informal urbanisation. Low-income settlements in particular face challenging conditions as they are disproportionally af- fected by precarious housing, energy risks, inadequate andunreliable services, lack of affordability and access to financial services, tenure insecurity and exclusion from planning pro- cesses.
