Day 1: Slum Persistance - Strength or Weakness?

Surco, Lima

Newly remodeled low-income housing....and a slice of a slum. Not sure if they own this land, but perhaps this small shantee is actually wealthier than all it's surrounding neighbors.

I was watching the activity of this group of people during the day, since they are right outside my window, and seemingly they are much happier playing cards and sharing stories than franatically trying to catch the bus on time for work.

How did this condition emerge?
