India: Slum Residents Helped Design Their Own Apartments
In India, residents of an overcrowded slum helped design their own apartments in a new building, according to NPR. Many had previously lived in single-room tin shacks. NPR described the participatory approach as a “bold new experiment,” and the project has already won an award. Residents called their new homes “a dream fulfilled.” Available information does not identify the city, the number of apartments, the award, or the architects and institutions behind the project.
