The real reason why slums keep coming back
News, Luciene Pereira, Published on 27/04/2026
» The standard policy response to slums -- relocate people, bulldoze the settlement, and build public housing elsewhere -- is older than the slums themselves. It has never worked.

Oped, S Alex Yang and Angela Huyue Zhang, Published on 24/04/2026

» An uncomfortable reality is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. The global economy is in a period of "more frequent and violent shocks", as Nobel laureate Michael Spence puts it. Instead of facing isolated and temporary disruptions, we are confronting a structural shift towards unsettling volatility, deepening fragmentation, and a wider dispersion of outcomes for countries, companies, and households. The old world is gone, and virtually everyone risks losing out in the new one. The question is by how much and what to do about it.
