Future Slums

Future Slums explores the pressing issue of rapidly growing unplanned urban settlements and the urgent need for sustainable housing solutions. It examines the intersection of architecture, social science, and urban planning, highlighting the systemic failures in urban development that lead to slum formation. The book argues that the proliferation of these informal settlements isn't inevitable but rather a consequence of inadequate planning, governance, and economic policies. Did you know UN projections indicate a significant increase in the global slum population, posing threats to social stability and public health?

The book progresses logically, starting with the historical and socio-economic context of slums, examining factors like rapid urbanization and economic inequality. It then delves into the drivers and consequences of slum formation through global case studies, before exploring innovative approaches to affordable housing and community empowerment. By understanding these dynamics and adopting a holistic approach, we can create more inclusive and resilient cities.
