In 2008 the percentage of people living in cities surpassed that living in rural areas. A growing proportion of city dwellers is comprised of those who call 'slums' home.
A project of the Nobel Peace Center documents the experiences of living in four slums from different parts of the world. Jakarta, Caracas, Nairobi and Mumbai are showcased through a series of photos and stories on "the Places We Live".
It's an interesting exhibition and look into a side of development often sadly overlooked (although in the news of late with Slumdog's success...).
