The collaboration with the NGO “Live in Slums” to the construction of an agricultural garden out of a dumpsite gave us the opportunity to get in contact with “Mathare” slum reality and its dynamics. Taking this punctual project as a successfull example of environmental requa- lification, we explored the possibility of a wider scale intervention based on the same principles. We called this research “Mathare River” because the river represents the least common denominator between agriculture and pollution in the slum and the phisical element that permitted us the spatial exploration of the slum.
After an in-depth analysis of the dimensions explored on the field (Water, Waste, Agriculture) we addressed the study to usefull Techni- ques and Actors involved. The construction of a Network is seen as an essential action for the achievement of the objective.
