This lecture proposes a fundamental shift in addressing the problems of slums, and suggests an approach that focuses on streets as the engine for urban transformation. The strategy brought forward by Claudio Acioly, from UN-Habitat, uses streets as the natural conduits that connect slums spatially and physically with the city and treats streets not only as physical entity for mobility and accessibility, through which water and sewerage pipes, power lines, and drainage systems are laid, but as the common good and the public domain where social, cultural and economic activities are articulated, reinforced and facilitated. A video and links to background material are included.
