In the following stages, we studied the relation between flooding and deprivation of basic facilities in these wetslums through GISmapping.
Floating City Apps can be plugged in and plugged out as per demand. As they are floating structures, the removal process is relatively low-impact.

Through the study, we were able to find out that the flood-prone part of the slums had fewer basic facilities. By correlating these features, it became possible to understand which part of the slum required most attention thereby guiding practitioners to a more precise and targeted slum upgrading process. The study revealed how slums exhibited spatial diversity in their needs and emphasised how slum upgrading can be ineffective if practitioners assumed slums to be homogeneous.
