Majorissue
During monsoons, storm

sewage system and
reaches the sewage
collection pond
Any overflow floods the

Leads to further decay

Karimadom
Design and layout modified in initial design stage to cater
to previous feedback regarding beneficiary aspirations
Further modifications done based on further discussions
with beneficiaries and other stakeholders
A comprehensive, community based design evolved
Conclusion
Karimadom
to live in one
But to US
Planners, Architects, Builders &
Contractors, our Government
departments, others in authority,
AND
All of us who pass by on the
other side of the road and
pretend that a slum is none of our
business.
