In-Situ Redevelopment of Slums

The  studio is to develop a housing strategy for the city to expand choices of affordable housing to all income groups. With a multi-dimensional approach to the city and how efficiently to address the issue of housing unaffordability in its specific land and labor market. The studio focused on framing policies, legislations and regulations, also by reforming the present policies that will enable markets to generate adequate, affordable, and decent housing stock. Also by making state to enable and provide assistance to households, living in substandard informal and formal housing who lack access to basic service and live in unhygienic conditions, basically who are not catered by markets to access decent affordable housing. 

One such strategy where state act as enabler and provider is “In-situ Slum redevelopment”. Helps in formalizing the existing slum settlements on high potential land by the denotification process and facilitate the poor, without interrupting their livelihood, with the inclusion of private participation.
