Shelter Global Launches
Den city Competition 2015
Shelter is pleased to invite architects, planners, students, engineers,
designers, thinkers, NGOs and organizations from all over the world to take
part in the first annual Den city Competition. Rapid world growth and
urbanization is not allowing cities to adapt and provide for their inhabitants.
Towns are quickly growing into cities, and some of the densest places in
the world are comprised of makeshift homes, otherwise referred to as
slums. Furthermore, already overcrowded cities have to absorb people
leaving their rural hometown in hope of job opportunities. There are
currently over 1 billion slum dwellers in the world. This number is expected
to reach 2 billion by the year 2030. Now, more than ever, we need to playa
central role in the development of substandard neighborhoods.
