I have gone through your proposal and you have done a great job explaining who will be taking actions in executing the proposed project of a sustainable slum. However I have also noticed that from the proposal that the actions that you propose to make a sustainable slum is still a work in progress in the proposal. I think the main action item would be to provide carbon free energy in the slum.Some interesting links to know life in slum & building a carbon free city from scratch is listed below. How slums can save the planet A Carbon-Free City Is Being Built from Scratch Building the World’s First Carbon-Neutral City Rapidly growing slums could be the key to sustainable urban energy system transformation Thanks & regards Aadhithya

As Aadhithya stated it would be better to focus on one component of your proposal as opposed to so many facets of sustainability for slums and shanty towns. Building materials may be a great place to start because there are so many options available for improving the stock of buildings from current materials used in this setting. https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2015/oct/09/living-steel-box-shipping-containers-future-housing Shipping container housing could be a great way to provide improved living conditions for the individuals living in slums or shanty towns I would also suggest that you look into plastic based materials as possibly driving the building for these new structures, it would provide a circular economy solution to the glut of plastic we have around the world. Best Regards, Teerth Brahmbhatt
