Next City presents a series of three short films about the role of informal settlements, economies and networks in rapidly urbanizing cities. These films, which are part of the Rockefeller Foundation's Informal City Dialogues, take viewers to Accra and Bangkok where locals are finding solutions to poverty and slum eviction.
This event will feature a discussion with the filmmakers, Ryan Hill, Still Life Projects, and collaborators, Diana Lind, Next City; Will Doig, Next City; and Benjamin de la Pena, Rockefeller Foundation.
