Shelter Associates gave a presentation that focussed on their working methodology and played their short film titled Inclusive Planning for the Urban Poor, which covers the 4 main characteristics of inclusive planning.<br \/>\n1. Data and the spatial organization of the collected slum data to ensure the creation of an accurate profile of the city and the settlement &#8211; this ensures that designs suit the situation and not the stereotype.<br \/>\n2. A city-wide approach to ensure the efficient use of land, and ensure that all slums including non-designated slums and slums in non-buildable zones (or in flood areas) are included.<br \/>\n3. Community participation to ensure that beneficiaries are invested in the proposal and establish a dialogue &#8211; as part of this process Shelter Associates conduct workshops and focus group discussions to support all physical interventions.<br \/>\n4. Monitoring to ensure the timely implementation of the project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday 20th September 2013 Shelter Associates took part in the Global Studio &#8216;People Building Better Cities&#8217; discussion, which was an international travelling exhibition, at Studio X-Mumbai; Studio-X is a global network linked with Columbia University&#8217;s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation.
