2. Villa Miserianeighborhood of misery Villa Miseria is a form of shanty town or slum found in Argentina, especially in and around the large cities of Buenos Aires, Rosario and Mendoza. In Buenos Aires, the population of villas miseria doubled in the 1990s, reaching 120,000 as of 2005.

3. Villa 31 Built in 1930’s for families effected by the economic crisis of 1929 Villa 31 evacuated after military dictatorship, but later repopulated after democracy was achieved.

5. Suggestions Create market-rate, affordable, public housing units. Creation and funding from other counties/governments to stop problems in current slums, such as : Creation of law enforcements to stop crime. Creation of services (hospitals, medical services, etc.) Creation of self-sustaining industries, so that the countries can achieve their own significant incomes.

6. The Problem Worsens Conditions aren’t improving. Predictions say within one decade half of the population of Buenos Aires will live in slums. THE END
