Dejach Wibe area is among these inner city slum areas planned to undergo an urban renewal process and this thesis work is an attempt to adopt incremental housing for the area to empower residents economically with a focus on small businesses and keep them in their neighbourhoods which is part of the historic city center – Arada (Piassa).
