Q. Can you recommend some resources to locate and find more about different displaced or refugee communities around the world?

Hello, I'm the TA for ARH205 Introduction to Architecture. For the final project, students will be asked to design environmentally sound housing for a specific relocated population. The Professor would like provide students with a few resources to locate and find more about different displaced or refugee communities around the world. I was hoping you might be able to point me in the right direction of identifying research tools that students may use for this project.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) website is a good place to begin. You can use the Browse by Country feature on the right sidebar to discover data and statistics about refugee populations around the world. The World bank has a selection of links for data, statistics and information on refugees and displaced people. Included on the list of links is Refugees International, which you might find particularly useful. National Geographic has developed an interactive map showing global refugee populations and displaced people.
