Haiti to demolish unsafe buildings

Haiti\'s president Rene Preval is to meet with mayors next week, to discuss widespread lawless construction in fast growing slums.



Mr. Preval says authorities will demolish unsafe buildings and improve urban planning, following a school collapse that killed close to 100 people.



The Mayor of Port-au-Prince estimates that 60 per cent of the city\'s buildings are unsafe.



Many of them are homes, schools and churches of families who fled to shantytowns, to escape rural poverty.
