A new post from the folks at Airoots explores the importance of preserving street layout in any plan for "slum redevelopment". Incremental development as opposed to "slum redevelopment" which takes such an approach they argue is important because this organic street layout of slums is a physical representation of identity and continuity in social and economic arrangements. There are many others reasons that they will elaborate in future essays. These include: visual coherence, functional efficiency, respect of local autonomy, sustainability and quality of life.
