RQ3:
Can design help facilitate the continued organic growth of slum communities in large scale 3rd world cities whilst improving ecological conditions and urban networks?
Incremental Research:
Location location location. Understanding the relationship between community establishment and growth.
What is the relationship between slum communities and their inhabited space, including location, topography and proximity to typologies? What rules dictate their form and growth? Can design help to improve their relationship with public and private infrastructure?
The condition of the slum community exist across all 3rd world mega cities. The aim of this micro assignment is to attempt to understand the reasoning behind location and how this effects their outward growth. Although cities vary in their size climate and topography, this condition of the slum community remains. What are the comparisons that can be made, is their an underlying set of rules that can be viewed as transposable or cross-cultural. As space within these cities becomes more premium due to economic advancement what then happens to these communities, are the viewed as established, temporal or disposable?
