read on Paul Mason/BBC News
This an interesting read on slums as part of every progressing city ! I'm not sure about how the Western countries have handled this phenomenon but this is the reality in a third world country like the Philippines!
The slums of Manila, sometimes in the midst of squalor and putrid canal waters, have become a "world" of its own...a unique government system, special culture and social hierarchy;and a "business environment" which has evolved out of a need to survive in the concrete jungles of the city!
Slums equal survival of the fittest in a growing city!Or perhaps , in a struggling city?
