Half the world will live in slums by 2050, but we know so little about these sites of creative construction. Today, @TanzilShafique is talking about 'City of Desire', his new book about Dhaka's Korail settlement. This is going to be fascinating - join us @SOAS @SOAS_SAI
Thrilled that @TanzilShafique will be @SOAS on Wednesday 19th November. This book is path-breaking. I see Korail from my balcony and always wonder about the lives and worlds of the people who live there. Please join us, if you are in London. https://t.co/8hOSeIdJQP
