Адресат: Habitat III: не беспокоить оператора?

26/05/15 глобальная платформа для « Право на Город», созданная самыми важными международными сетями, имеющая отношение к этой теме, отправила письмо с предложением помощи и сотрудничества гражданского общества в подготовке Саммита Объединенных Наций Хабитат III (Кито, октябрь 2016).К сожалению, по сегодняшний день нет ответа, еще одно закрытие, которые ООН Хабитат распространят. Это неудивительно, так как это предложение базируется на правах человека, подход, который вояд ли устроит ООН-Хабитат, придерживающегося неолиберальных принципов.В ожидании пока кто-нибудь решит ответить, лучше будет посвятить себя созданию Всемирного Социального Городского Форума, в качестве альтернативы Хабитат III.

Why the World Needs to Get Ready for the Next Generation of Slums

People who live in slums don't have easy lives to begin with. Lately, though, politicians have been doing their best to make matters even more complicated. A few weeks ago the Venezuelan government started evicting Caracas's infamous 45-story slum, the "Tower of David," relocating residents to government housing outside the city. In early July, a few weeks earlier, a thousand slum dwellers in Islamabad found themselves confronting riot police as they tried to protest the Pakistani government's plans to evict them from their homes ("katchi adabi " settlements). Around the same time, a local government in India approved plans to build the first of 10,000 new "transit accommodations" for displaced slum dwellers. That followed Bombay's brutal anti-slum drive in May, when authorities bulldozed more than 100 family homes, forcing over 600 residents onto the streets.
