The travelling studio involves working with a local NGO, the Community Organisation Resource Centre (CORC), and community in the actual process of planning, design and implementation of slum upgrading. If the student skills are available, it is intended that the project will be extended to include construction and property issues. CORC provides communities with technical skills such as planning and architecture, and the project and students will fall within the ambit of CORC's services. The travelling studio proposal was developed in collaboration with CORC, with input from Shack/Slum Dwellers International (SDI).
