Slums Do Not Have to Be Bleak

By

I’m impressed with what’s going on in Rio de Janeiro, as reported by my friend Tom Rink on his blog.

Having worked recently in developing knowledge strategy for an organization dealing with sustainable urbanization (UN’s Human Settlements Programme – UN-Habitat – in Nairobi, Kenya) and having visited Rio last March, Tom’s post has special resonance for me. Perhaps for you, too.

Worth a look: Rio slum transformed into canvas bursting with color (be sure to scroll down and view the CNN report)
