What brings someone to a slum? Climate Migration

for our "moving day" themed presentation it makes senses to start with exactly why our future slum dweller is moving in the first place.


Theres a huge migration of people to slums in Dhaka as a result of climate change. People who used to work on coastal farms are no longer able to make a living because of storms and flooding ruining crops and destroying villages. So to relate this back to our themes WATER causes flooding which destroys crops which changes the initial conditions that made those people SETTLE in those places. So now they have to TRANSPORT themselves and RESETTLE in slums!
