Africa's largest slum
For the first time in history, by 2008 the urban population of the planet
will outnumber the rural. At the same time, the number of people living
in urban slums is passing the one billion mark, about every third person
living in a city. The United Nations predicts that the number of slum
dwellers will likely double over the next few decades.
Africa's largest slum, Kibera in Nairobi, is home to extreme poverty
and is notorious for high levels of violence and crime. It houses
more than one billion people squeezed into less than a square mile,
almost entirely in one-story, one-room stick-and-mud shacks.
