Prasanthi / Administrators, Do you expect response to this email? Is this part of TMAD Mission?
Why do we need to distribute unrelated information and general knowledge. I joined TMAD not to improve my general knowledge but to be part of ongoing needs based causes. Pls rethink, and clarify once and for all on what I should expect the group activities to be, or what kind of emails I should expect to see.

It is our aim to find out the best solution to improve Indian slums sustainably. I would be really grateful if you could answer this one question: What do you think will be the best design solution to improve the lives of slum dwellers whilst sustaining the environment, keeping in mind the Indian government will have to approve. The options are below: 1) Keep the current slums but improve certain factors such as drainage and water access? 2) Re-house slum dwellers into the tower blocks suggested by the Indian government? 3) Build cheap horizontal housing and make slum living even more unattractive so slum dwellers will move out from their current settlements? 4) Train slum dwellers in the building industry and allow them to build their own homes? 5) Re-house slum dwellers into sustainable high-rise buildings? Or, 6) construct brand new cities? Could you please explain the answer you have chosen. Thank you, hope to hear from you soon.
