Submarine ChannelFor the first time in the history of humanity, there are more people living in cities than in the countryside. Fact! And of those many billions of city-dwellers, every 1 in 3 is living in a slum. The Places We Live is an immersive online documentary produced by the celebrated agency Magnum Photos, which introduces visitors to some of the contrasts and parallels of slum life across Nairobi, Mumbai, Jakarta and Caracas (see also our DVD Caracas – The Informal City). Combining audio testimonies with awe-inspiring 360° navigate-able photography, we’re introduced to some of the daily struggles and triumphs of city living for more than 1 billion people around the world.
