Dear Mishari,
If you are interested in the subject of slums, you may read and view
videos about the work of Prof. Alfredo Brillembourg:
http://www.designboom.com/architecture/interview-alfredo-brillembourg-of-urban-think-tank-06-12-2014/
This man is part of the Urban-Think Tank (U-TT). This organization has
got the practical know-how of redeveloping slums by their dwellers
themselves after some additional training in construction. They also
have got the technology of re-planing, dealing with local authorities, etc.
Several of their projects turned slums into nice districts with minimal
cost.
I was at the conference of Prof. Alfredo Brillembourg. He said that 95%
of humanity lives in slums, and consequently the history of
civilizations happens also in slums. They invest into this work serious
thinking and practical effort.
Best regards,
Oleksiy
