Reflection

                      Housing in cities is a multi-faceted phenomenon. Many persons have adequate access and resources to obtain housing, some have limited resources but may still acquire perhaps informal housing (slums and shanty towns), Hall & Barrett (2012), and some have no resources whatsoever to obtain shelter. Housing options may range from being homeless (Picture 1), from colonial to modern looks (Picture 2), to temporary shelters (Pictures 3). Within cities, adequate and sufficient planning is needed so that it does not become an issue to obtain something so basic.
