According to estimates, in 2015, about 863 million people in the world were living in urban slums, and about 90% of this population in developing countries is living in slums [1]. Moreover, about 43% of the urban population in Asian countries [2] and about 30% of the urban population in Iran have been living in slums by 2017 [2], [3], [4]. Since the 1960s onward, there has not been an integrated approach in spatial planning in Iran to deal with this issue; however, different approaches such as demolition and clearance of settlements and eviction of their inhabitants, resettlement, construction of public housing, upgrading and empowerment have been experienced [5]. Most of these methods were not able to be generalized, repeated, and modelled at broader scales. During the recent decades there has been the consensus that in situ upgrading provides a good opportunity for organizing [6]. Despite this consensus, it is not clear yet how to implement the approach and achieve best results in different geographical conditions in cities. Most solutions are divided to two distinct classes, namely physical measures and sector measures, while lacking in integrated planning to upgrade the neighbourhoods. According to Amis (2001), social developments and consequences of upgrading measures are not evaluated at all [7]. Over the past decades, two operational options have been followed and promoted for in situ upgrading of informal settlements. The first option is “Public Principles” which has often been proliferated based on the activities of NGOs and some researchers and practitioners. The second option is “Best Practices” which has been promoted by the United Nations Centre for Human Settlements. However, according to Abbott (2000a) both options, as means of upgrading informal settlements, have failed in terms of approach because of the mere emphasis on physical engineering approach.
