Over 1 billion people currently live in slums, with the number
of slum dwellers only expected to grow in the coming
decades. The vast majority of slums are located in and around
urban centres in the less economically developed countries,
which are also experiencing greater rates of urbanization
compared with more developed countries. This rapid rate of
urbanization is cause for significant concern given that many
of these countries often lack the ability to provide the
infrastructure (e.g., roads and affordable housing) and basic
services (e.g., water and sanitation) to provide adequately for
the increasing influx of people into cities. While research on
slums has been ongoing, such work has mainly focused on
one of three constructs: exploring the socio-economic and
policy issues; exploring the physical characteristics; and, lastly,
those modelling slums. So this audio channeled toward the hardship in the slum and why we need to listen to this cry and help the slum dwellers
