Abstract: Transition peripheries: The entry presents two innovative dimensions in socially vulnerable settlements upgrading programs: first, the shared governance process which is developed with a strong presence of organized civil society through the articulation of a nongovernmental organization (NGO) network and the local community; second, a local action plan – Neighborhood Plan – developed with the community. The entry presents the case study of Jardim Lapena, a socially vulnerable settlement in the periphery of the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil, in terms of advances, limitations, and lessons learned, as well as discussions for potential replicability in other cities in the Global South.
