Download or read book Housing India’s Urban Poor 1800-1965 written by Hans Schenk and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-12 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hinge of this book is 15 August 1947, the day India became independent. The new leaders of the nation formulated many goals for India’s speedy development. Among these was the promise to provide all urban citizens with decent housing, and thus to clear all slums. This promise structures this book. It is divided into two sets of questions. The first one refers to the past. It was apparently necessary to express concern about the poor housing and sanitary provisions for many citizens before 1947. What was hence the situation of urban living during the approximately 150 years of colonial rule? What measures were taken (or not taken) for improvement? The promise to provide decent housing in independent India structures the second part of this book through a second set of questions. What were the public actions to bring the promise nearer by? What has been realized, what faded away finally? The analysis ends in the mid-1960s when the role of public actors with regard to housing and the living environment diminished and the idea of ‘self-help’ and just marginal improvements of hut areas gained ground. Finally, some answers to the question why Indian society has as yet not been able to find adequate answers to the lack of decent housing for a majority of its citizens, are formulated. The book brings detailed in-depth knowledge on urban housing and sanitation on several Indian cities together in a comparative manner and places this local knowledge in a broader context, crossing urban borders.

Book Synopsis Affordable Housing for Urban Poor in India by : B.L Rajput
Download or read book Affordable Housing for Urban Poor in India written by B.L Rajput and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Housing is considered as one of the basic human needs. According to the Government of India, the total housing requirement during the 11th Plan period would be 26.53 million dwelling units. Further 99% of this shortage pertains to Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) and Lower Income Groups (LIG). Inspite of the necessary steps taken by the central, state and local governments, there exists a large gap between the demand and supply of houses. If suitable measures are not taken, this gap will again increase and further aggravate the urban housing shortage problem. The growing urban housing shortage is mainly because of the exponential growth of population, fast rate of urbanization and inadequate addition to the existing housing stock. At present, India needs to build many million homes at the right location with affordable prices and adequate quality, especially for EWS and LIG class of people. This paper mainly discusses the background of urban housing shortage in India and the necessary steps needed to reduce the urban housing shortage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the possibility of developing practical and habitable low-income housing in India based on the implementation of three simple constructs: affordability, cost-recovery and replicability. In this context, Pugh argues for a shift in emphasis in housing policy from radical redevelopment to a system of feasible upgrading. He buttresses his argument by citing the success of various World Bank-aided projects in India. In the process of describing these new efforts, Pugh critically analyzes the Indian government's housing policy, the economics of reform and the failures of land policy in Delhi.
Book Synopsis Evaluating Alternatives for Housing India's Urban Poor by : Rajagopalan M. Palamadai
Download or read book Evaluating Alternatives for Housing India's Urban Poor written by Rajagopalan M. Palamadai and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study evaluates the three alternatives identified by the (National) Planning Commission for housing the Urban Poor in India: Upgrading, site and services, and housing. The basis for evaluation is the relationship of the cost of development to the cost of each of the components in development and the number of beneficiaries. The framework for evaluation is proposed as a model to assist: 1) Project designers to identify the relative importance of the various design parameters in development and to indicate quickly to the concerned agencies the impact of standards and regulations, 2) State and local agencies to determine the affordable standards, and 3) Allocation of available National resources by choosing affordable alternatives for housing the urban poor. The application of the model is illustrated for Ahmedabad. Conclusions are drawn from the application and for a specific set of assumptions. The assumptions governing the values assigned to the parameters of the model are based on case studies and design studies for three low-income settlements in Ahmedabad.
