Scientific experiences in dealing with slum areas went through urban development stages, and until the early 1960s, the governments of these countries ignored the existence of these areas as a temporary phenomenon that could be overcome by economic development in urban and rural areas. This neglect affected the official plans and documents of these countries. When the governments of those countries realized that slum housing is a tangible reality that cannot be escaped, they tried to address this phenomenon by changing their policy and orientations that aimed to eliminate these areas without taking into account the residents' capabilities in solving their housing problems, to new policies to deal with them, and in cooperation with Non-governmental organizations and institutions have taken upon themselves to confront this phenomenon and deal with it in accordance with the conditions of the urban environment appropriate to the needs of their local communities. The aim of this research study is to shed light on the study of some global experiences of dealing with informal housing areas as a general vision that provides an opportunity to benefit from them and serve as a basic base and guidelines for policies to deal with them. These experiences have crystallized in a range of administrative, legislative, urban, social and economic aspects related to dealing policies. Keywords
