INCLUDED does essential work in difficult places, particularly the slums where migrants are crowded into the margins of big cities. We build community centers and broker collaborations to help migrants access the city. Starting in Beijing, we are now also active in Shanghai, Kathmandu and Dhaka, with a goal of ten cities and a hundred community centers in our network.
We've been working at the intersection of design and slums. So little of good design, architecture, technology, urban planning, products, and systems is being focused on migrant slums today. Up to 1 in 3 of us will soon live in one. With a little extra thought, our slums can become brighter, organized, more life-giving places to live with better access to better products.
