Informal City

The informal city video mainly tells us how people can modify different things so they adjust them. The video helped me take a different look on a particular city. On what the city is actually offering. How the negatives can be made positives. Evn though in our project we are not supposed to ‘solve any problem’ but the video teaches us that every problem has solutions.
What I understand by an informal city is that every city has so much to offer but most of the people just see a particular side to that city. We should actually start seeing the other sides too. on how the people there live and how they adjust to the surroundings. On what they feel should be done. We should have the inner perspective too.
Now I guess this will help me in seeing shivajinagar in a different perspective. Because I am working on mainly food, I will now see if there is any particular reason why people eat that kind of food in that place or how different food articles affect their lives and what they have done. It will help me explore a new side to food. What history the food has to offer in shivajinagar and how are different communities of people getting together because of the food.
