CITY LIMITS: SLUMS OF THE WORLD

In collaboration with UN-HABITAT and the World Urban Forum 3, the Vancity Theatre is presenting a series of films exploring life at the margins of the world�s crowded urban centres. The films in this series were carefully selected because they provide tremendous insight into the world today.

With over one billion people living in slums and squatter settlements, and the possibility that this figure could double within the next 25 years, this selection of eye-opening films presents the reaction of different cultures to slum-dwelling and extreme poverty.
