GerHub is proud to be part of communities around the globe exploring Mongolia, especially ger areas (semi-formal urban settlements, named after “ger” – nomadic dwelling type). Given its semi-formal nature, studies are limited and existing studies not known to public.

GerHub is dedicating the “Mongolia Corner” for those who love Mongolia to gain more insight on ger area communities and their challenges and opportunities. Many organizations, researchers, and curious individuals have dedicated their time to looking into a wide variety of aspects of ger areas of Ulaanbaatar and advocating research-based transformation.
