INTRODUCTION
The word “slum” is often used to describe informal settlements within cities that have
inadequate housing and squalid, miserable living conditions. They are often overcrowded,
with many people crammed into very small living spaces.
Asia's largest slum, Dharavi, lies on prime property right in the middle of Mumbai (Neza,
in Mexico, is the world’s largest slum).
Half-a-million people or so, live in the 230 hectares that is Dharavi. It was founded in 1882
at the time of British Raj. During the 18th century, unplanned localities started to grow
when the process of urbanization of Mumbai was going on.
Recently, the Maharashtra government signed an initiative: A special purpose vehicle with
80% private and 20% government stake to redevelop Dharavi as a whole rather than in
separate sub-clusters as previously envisioned.
OBJECTIVES
These settlements lack basic municipal services such as water, sanitation, waste collection,
storm drainage, street lighting, paved sidewalks and roads for emergency access. Most also
do not have easy access to schools, hospitals or public places for the community to gather.
Many slums have been unserviced and unrecognized for long periods, over 20 years in
some cities.
According to the United Nations agency UN-HABITAT, a slum is a run-down area of a city
characterized by substandard housing and poverty and lacking in tenure security. According
to the United Nations, the proportion of urban dwellers living in slums decreased from 47
percent to 37 percent in the developing world between 1990 and 2005. However, due to
rising population, the number of slum dwellers is rising day by day.
METHODOLOGY
Existing slums in various cities are identified by collecting the data from Slum
Board. The declared slums are considered for further rehabilitation process.
The detailed studies of the slums which are eligible for slum rehabilitation are to
be done. In the survey various information of the slum are collected such as
general information about the slum, basic information such as location, age of
slum, surrounding area of the slum, land status, demographic profile, housing
status, economic status, physical infrastructure, health facilities and other required
information are collected.
REMAINING WORK
In-situ slum development is the scheme comes under Indian government’s Pradhan Mantri
Awas Yojana. In India’s urban sector to provide easy and better housing facilities to slum
dwellers this scheme was launched. In this scheme the redevelopment of slums will be done
with the help of private participation to build new houses by using land as a source. Slums
which are located on government or private lands are also taken under this scheme. Slums
build on these lands will be used to give sanitary, accessible and better constructed houses
to people. By the open bidding process the private partner for this scheme will be selected.
In such projects, the amount granted to each house is around one lakh rupees. Allotment of
constructed houses for slum dwellers is done depending on proprietorship. There are two
components in the in-situ scheme. “Slum rehabilitation scheme component” and “free sale
component”. The primary focus of the scheme is to offer basic civil infrastructure along
with the houses. “Free sale component” is available for developers for selling in the market
so as to cross subsidize the project. If the area of the slum may be more than what is
required for slum dwellers then the remaining area will be given as free sale component.
