Slum?

Shanty town, Favela, Skid Row, Barrio, Ghetto, Squatter City

"Informal Settlement"

Urban. Inadequate housing and infrastructure. Lack of tenure.

My definition: Urban Areas of Ambiguous
Power

Mapping?

Field Collection <-> Remote sensing

Open <-> Proprietary

"Amateur" <-> "Expert"

Insider <-> Outsider

What is Empowerment along these Spectra?
