Islam abad or slum abad

Project idea

Design, incremental housing for the Development of Social Capital in Slums Area: Zoorabad or Islamabad _Karaj_IRAN

Project description

Vast numbers of urban residents around the world live
in slums. According to the latest UN Habitat Report
(2009), about 1 billion people, or 32% of the world’s current
urban population, reside in slum housing. The slum
share is 43% in South Asia and 36% in East Asia, and it
reaches a high of 62% in sub-Saharan Africa. Urban slums
in developing countries are often associated with informal
land tenure. Informality usually involves squatting, where
households illegally occupy a parcel of land while paying
no compensation to its owner. Although a separate
tabulation of the worldwide squatter population is not
available, case studies suggest that a substantial share
of slum residents, and thus a substantial share of the
urban population in developing countries, consists of
squatters
The scope of work: make a high range of participating in all the process of making a social housing for the slums people, and use the positive potential of slums people.
