  • In Manila, any square foot of extra space finds a use for someone. Squatters even set up little kitchens on the median between train tracks and time their cooking to work around the train schedule. Manila, Philippines. (From a photographic gallery of kitchen images, in Hungry Planet: What the World Eats, p. 55)

  • In late September, a family assembles a ger (round tent built from canvas, strong poles, and wool felt) in a squatter settlement on the hillsides of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. They have been herding animals in the countryside for the summer and are now moving back into the city for the winter. Despite the popular image of Mongolians as nomadic herders, it is an increasingly urbanized country. More than one quarter of Mongolians live in the capital city, Ulaanbaatar. Material World Project.

  • Despite the popular image of Mongolians as nomadic herders, it is an increasingly urbanized country. More than one quarter of Mongolians live in the capital city, Ulaanbaatar. Many people move into the city from the countryside and live in squatter areas on the hillsides around the city, often living in their traditional gers (round tent built from canvas, strong poles, and wool felt) until they erect more permanent housing. Mongolia. Material World Project.

  • Despite the popular image of Mongolians as nomadic herders, it is an increasingly urbanized country. More than one quarter of Mongolians live in the capital city, Ulaanbaatar.

  • Oyuntsetseg (second from left) and Regzen Batsuuri (right) and their two children, Khorloo (17, left) and Batbileg (12, second from right) visit the neighborhood where they once lived in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. They hadn't been back there since they lost the property. [Although property in this case is a misnomer. They owned the structures, but were squatters on the land as is everyone in the settlement because ownership of private land is not allowed in Mongolia. Land belongs to the government --2001]. From coverage of revisit to Material World Project family in Mongolia, 2001.

  • The Soviet-style apartment blocks on the edge of Ulaanbaatar, a legacy of Mongolia's Communist past, are now surrounded by squatters; more accurately, urban homesteaders. Former nomads, they have precisely parceled out the land and staked out their neat gers. The gers lack indoor plumbing, but in other ways are more comfortable than the city's crowded apartments. Hungry Planet: What the World Eats (p. 228). This image is featured alongside the Batsuuri family images in Hungry Planet: What the World Eats.
