Redefining Development

Discover the transformative insights in Redefining Development by Jessica Kritz, published by Cambridge University Press in 2023. This compelling 2nd revised edition spans 75 pages and delves into the evolution of the Old Fadama informal community in Accra, Ghana, once labeled an urban slum and a government no-go zone in 2015.

In this enlightening work, Kritz presents a participatory approach where researchers collaborated with local stakeholders to create an evidence-based intervention rooted in local culture. This innovative perspective challenges traditional notions of development, making it essential reading for anyone interested in urban studies, community engagement, and sustainable practices.
