Abstract
In parts of the Global South, poor urban communities engage with the state to improve their living conditions through a planning process called co-production. This involves planning decision-making very different to the usual concepts of collaborative or communicative planning which have dominated planning theory and practice in the Global North. The chapter uses a case of co-production in Kampala (Uganda) to show how communities and NGOs use both conflict and engagement to negotiate upgrade, in a context where conflict and corruption are common. Achieving emancipation and transformation under such conditions is unlikely without broader, structural challenges to coloniality.
