For this project, our goal is to come up with an engineering solution to tackle an overall issue regarding the overcrowding of slums in Manila, Philippines. Before we come up with solutions, we must first isolate the problems in these communities in order to reach the end goal. The problems we are currently researching are:
- Overcrowding and high density
- Infectious disease in the Manila, Philippines slums
- Lack of sanitation in the slums- waste, sewer systems, trash in particular
- Lack of basic services (food, housing, water)
- Substandard housing/inadequate building structures
