Understand The Relationship Between Shelter And Globalization
LITERATURE REVIEW
First, the author has done a literature review and has provided with a theoretical framework to understand the relationship between the crisis of shelter and the globalisation. The characteristics of the globalisation include taking advantage of innovations in technology which are done to lower the overall cost of transportation and production which can be done by pursuing cheaper and affordable land, labour and resources. Globalisation also encourages to increase the exchange and export value, and to expand the market for the trade and commerce. There is a relationship between globalisation and the decentralisation of facilities and firm and the centralisation of central business district in the metropolitan area.

Centralisation is done because of the high concentration of financial services and business investment in a city or metropolitan area. These factors have led to different kinds of inequalities in large cities. Due to the centralised concentration of investment in the centre of the city, the poor has to constantly compete with the rich to get the shelter and employment near to the centre of the city. The periphery of the city has been slowed down in terms of urbanisation and development of industries and has gained less government attention. This has driven up the property value and resulted in considerable redevelopment. Globalisation has increased the demand of cheap labour and human resources which has now result into a substantial increase in rural-urban migration in developing countries. These immigrants are unable to integrate with the economy of the city and are also not able to receive legal tenure status and face a huge problem of survival …show more content…
This fringe of the city is far from the centre of the city leading to a very high cost of transportation for commuting for the poor people to reach their source of employment. This encourages the inequality and the division between the poor and the wealthy sector of the society. According to the primary surveys done, it was found that the informal settlements residing in the exact centre of the city are more threatened to get convicted by the government as compared to the people living just 5 to 10 km away from the city centre. There is a trend of perception of threat of conviction by the informal settlements which decreases as one moves away from the city centre.
So, to answer the question that why the informal settlements of Manila are residing on the hazardous land, two reasons can be drawn for the same. One of them is the conviction by the government of the informal settlements in the city centre to make the city centre as ‘global city’. And, the other is the assurance of legal tenure for the housing at the fringe at an affordable price for a quality
