Community architects in Fiji

I've been rather slack in updating this blog recently, but I do have a few things to post about soon. I'm just back from a trip to Kenya for a Young Planning Professionals Workshop organised by the ISOCARP (International Society of City and Regional Planners), where our task was to develop possible projects to integrate Kibera into the wider city. More on that, and photos of Kibera, very soon.

In the meantime, I want to highlight an interesting blog about the work of three community architects, Hugo, Anna and Heidi, in Fiji. They are working on the upgrading of informal settlements with the local residents, and the blog provides a great overview of the steps required in this upgrading, from community surveying to mapping to holding city-wide meetings.
