+ [built] ENVIRONMENT

Man-made structures such as buildings, infrastructures, and environments have long been considered a major cause of environmental disasters, which in a global context have led to climate change. Ironically, there are not enough existing structures to use for shelters, particularly for low-income groups. Homeless problems exist in virtually every metropolitan region in the world regardless of the strength of the area's economy. This problem exists in tandem with the effort to upgrade the impoverished parts of cities, resulting in an unfair situation.

While keeping in mind the macro and global political economy context, we should always be aware of the tumultuous reality that built environments are all products of various stakeholders working together on a particular project. If these people perform a collaboration during the entire project's execution, theoretically there would not be any negative conflicts during the life of the project. The question is, are people collaborating or simply working together throughout the lifespan of the project? Spatial-based collaboration programming would include positions that resolve conflict, leading to a more dynamic consideration of project planning and implementation.
