Many people believe that urban children enjoy a higher quality of life than their rural counterparts. Paradoxically, impoverished urban children often face more severe living conditions and lower standards of living than rural children. Bangladesh has recently experienced rapid urbanization, with increasing numbers of families migrating from rural areas to cities. As a result, many poor urban children end up living in slums, where they are among the most vulnerable, directly affected by the harsh realities of slum life. These challenges not only impact their childhood but also limit their future opportunities as they grow older.
While many studies have addressed these problems from various perspectives, there has been little discussion about solutions, especially architectural ones. Additionally, most research has focused on Dhaka’s slums, even though cities like Sylhet face equally severe slum issues. Consequently, children in Sylhet’s slums suffer from dangerous living conditions, which have been largely overlooked.
This study prioritizes an architectural approach to solving the problems faced by urban poor children, focusing specifically on Sylhet city, to address the challenges of children living in non-capital city slums. Through the housing design research, the study aims to improve the overall well-being and living conditions of impoverished urban children, while ultimately providing better opportunities for their families. The goal of the research is to meet the need of children and create child-friendly neiborhoods through new housing design.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the historical development of Seoul Station's space and contemplate the current state.
The history of Seoul Station began in 1900 and has since interacted continuously with the city. Through the Japanese colonial period, the Korean War, and periods of rapid growth, it has undergone dynamic changes. As a result, it has grown into one of Korea's most important stations and developed into a hub for high-speed rail. In this process of change, Seoul Station has influenced its surrounding environment and undergone changes in its functions. This study aims to analyze the history of these changes and reflect on the issues that have arisen during this development.
