    AI Article Summary

    The Micro-Modular Shelter project in London is progressing as the first set of modular cabins has been delivered. The installation aims to provide accommodations for people experiencing homelessness by mid-January, depending on site conditions. An initial shipment of twenty micro-shelters arrived just before Christmas, with forty more expected soon.
