The UN predicts that by 2050, one in three people will live in a slum. But what determines where you live and how does your environment shape your health, hopes and prospects?

In a special season of coverage, Al Jazeera explores our relationships with the places we call home.

The six-part documentary series The Slum introduces the residents of Tondo - the most densely populated and least developed part of Manila - as they strive for success against the odds.

My Home goes inside some of the world's most impoverished neighbourhoods to examine the challenges posed by urbanisation.

And in Where I Live, the Al Jazeera Magazine meets township residents challenging perceptions, nomads planting roots and migrants going in search of a place to call home.
