Write a story about a government sponsored slum built from recycled cardboard manufactured into cheap housing. Imagine these cheap, flat packed, fold up buildings being supplied to a population of refugees or poverty stricken communities. Perhaps they are provided to colonists on a journey to a distant world, or given to exiles. The buildings might have laminated pieces to repel rain, or might be designed to be replaced often. A lot can be done with cardboard – it’s a sturdy material. How well would these buildings stand up to the elements? What would the buildings look like? What would the communities look like? What dangers, opportunities and unique situations would arise from a community living in cardboard houses?
