In trying to be correct we substitute the word slum for informal but arent we like that also taking our responsibility away? Arent we like that romanticising what shouldnt have happened in the first place? I am sorry to shock you but statistics surrounding the death rates, medical problems and education level are shocking to say the least. If it is not informal (a word that in itself makes us long for it - the action of informality, the action of breaking free from the formal system), and not a slum (because of all the stigma surrounding this word) then what is it? Maybe it is a displacement? a displacement of responsibility, a displacement of solutions and most of all a displacement of a population and its reality.
