Art of Survival- What if slum cities were green?

Even though they are not as affluent as New York City or London, third world cities are constantly growing. As these cities are growing, they must not make the same mistake that our current super cities are making. There is no connection between the body and the space around us. In order to increase health within our environment, we must remember that we are not machines. There are an incredible amount of people who are sick with malaria, respiratory illness, and other hygienic sicknesses. Due to this, we must create an environment where recovery will be enhanced and treatment be at maximum effectiveness. In Planet of Slums, Mike Davis defines that a large population of people are living in slums and a lot of the statistic under counts the amount of people that are living in slums. If we look at the health conditions of current cities, skies are full of smog, street are crowded with little view of greenery. Current slums are worst then this, if we do not change during the evolution of slums into cities. There will be a great and dire harm to our human bodies.
