Organised Encroachment

The project is an endeavour to empower the lowest income groups in urban Ghana, reshaping social and economic perspectives to synthesise Ghana’s self-organizing capacities. Balancing grassroot initiatives and top-down planning, the phased proposal seeks to embrace the current situation of encroached urban settlements. Offering insights for governmental parties such as TDC to overcome commercial speculation of the private sector - marking the increasing segregation of income groups - the proposed strategy of organised encroachment looks at a future in which social, climatological and economic instabilities are mitigated by a gradual, inclusive and durable development.
