Manshiyat Naser is a ward of Cairo, Egypt, famous for its “Garbage City” settlement. This slum is home to Cairo’s largest concentration of Zabbaleen people — a community of 50,000-70,000 who support themselves by collecting trash door-to-door throughout the city. The Zabbaleen recycle up to 80% of the waste they collect, while most Western garbage collecting companies only recycle about one-quarter of the waste they collect.

“Lambeth Towers”, Lambeth Road, London, UK [1964-1972] _ Architect: George Finch [for Lambeth Borough Council]  _ Photos by Spyros Kaprinis [24.03.2022].

“Working under Lambeth’s chief architect and planner Ted Hollamby, George Finch pioneered an architecture that created buildings with a mix of social provision. Lambeth Towers was a microcosm of the 1960s Welfare State. It provided affordable, high quality housing, medical facilities and a lunch club for the elderly.Today the building survives as a reminder of the inclusive, benevolent society that has been dismantled over the last 30 years.”
