This book is a chronicle of our times, offering a glimpse into what needs to be done, to redress the chaos that is urban development. Written with honesty, it is the story of the slumming in our cities and how a large number of urbanites living on pavements came to be slumwalas and how a number of urban development walas are letting our cities slowly die.

This book is an earnest effort in understanding the slums and their needs by taking a case study of Kalaburagi, India. This study aims to contribute sustainable methodologies to advance the living conditions of slum dwellers and for better execution of slum policies. The core objectives are: 1) mapping the existing slums of Kalaburagi (formerly Gulbarga) city using slum ontology from very high-resolution data and validating the slum map through ground survey and using reliable data; 2) developing a model to understand the factors which are responsible for the present growth as well as to predict the future growth of slums; 3) estimating the housing demand of urban poor and suggesting a suitable site for the rehabilitation program; and 4) suggestions for the better intervention of government policies with special reference to in-situ program. Urban is the future, and slums are its reality. Sustainable development goals are directly and indirectly concerned about the increasing urbanization and the slums. Housing the urban poor and affordable housing to all are the national missions. Practically making these plans successful depends on a deep understanding of urban issues and proper methodology and technology to handle it. The participatory slum mapping, cellular automata slum model, housing demand analysis, and the spatial decision support system demonstrated in the book help in monitoring and managing the slums and thus lead towards a slum-free India.

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.

When photographer Eloise Leyden spent a year traveling around India, she became fascinated not only by the vibrant beauty of the land and the warmth of its people, but also by the countrys sizable population of stray dogs. Leydens empathy with animals is captured perfectly in this colorful, touching collection of images of dogs roaming the bustling city streets, scavenging in markets, basking on sandy beaches, and sleeping just about anywhere. Leyden, who undertook voluntary work for an animal charity during her travels, reveals the close bond that often develops between the dogs and their fellow streetdwellershumans and animals alikeand documents the efforts of individuals and groups to promote the welfare of the strays.

Contents: 1. Introduction, 2. Slums of the World and in India, 3. Health Care Delivery In India, 4. Slums in Chennai, 5. Health Care Programmes for the Slum Population of Chennai City 6. Children, Women and Geriatric Care for the Slum Population of Chennai City 7. Conclusion and Suggestions. The inspiration to write this book came from the collection of data for a Need Assessment Study of a local slum near my residence. The buildings in the slum locality, the inhabitants and their livelihood, the availability of infrastructure, both governmental and private, in their vicinity and above all, the requirements and expectations of the population, all helped me undertake this study and thus the outcome of the thesis and this book.Specific reference is made to only 4 divisions from 4 zones from the erstwhile Chennai city before the expansion of 2012. Though expansion would have dispersed the ward and division numbers, the name of the location, its locality and the population remain the same. Therefore, I have simply changed the zone numbers to West, North, South-west and South.All the data pertaining to this study limits to the year 2009. Though this parameter is in fact a shortcoming to the study, the hypotheses and its outcome remain significant to this day. Also the representing sample of 300 compared to the total population of 6,26,271 of the 4 zones put together is sufficient since the sample population and the total population are not spread away from each other.

This book looks at slums and social exclusion in the four major megacities of India and Brazil, and analyzes the interrelationships between urban policies and housing and environmental issues. The challenges posed in Delhi, Mumbai, Rio de Janeiro and Suo Paulo have spurred public reformers into action through housing, rehabilitation and conservation programs. Civil society and the inhabitants of these cities have also begun to get involved. On the other hand, one must wonder whether these challenges were partly created by the deficiencies of these very reformers and civil society, be it their lack of intervention (as advocates of government intervention would argue), or the flaws and inadequacies of their actions (as supporters of the free market would suggest). Are policies alleviating or aggravating social exclusion This book explores these questions and more.

Urban slum dwellers—especially in emerging-economy countries—are often poor, live in squalor, and suffer unnecessarily from disease, disability, premature death, and reduced life expectancy. Yet living in a city can and should be healthy. Slum Health exposes how and why slums can be unhealthy; reveals that not all slums are equal in terms of the hazards and health issues faced by residents; and suggests how slum dwellers, scientists, and social movements can come together to make slum life safer, more just, and healthier. Editors Jason Corburn and Lee Riley argue that valuing both new biologic and “street” science—professional and lay knowledge—is crucial for improving the well-being of the millions of urban poor living in slums.

A Book That Challenges The Conventional Notion Of A Slum. Spread Over 175 Hectares And Swarming With One Million People, Dharavi Is Often Called Asia S Largest Slum . But Dharavi Is Much More Than Cold Statistic. What Makes It Special Are The Extraordinary People Who Live There, Many Of Whom Have Defied Fate And An Unhelpful State To Prosper Through A Mix Of Backbreaking Work, Some Luck And A Great Deal Of Ingenuity. It Is These Men And Women Whom Journalist Kalpana Sharma Brings To Life Through A Series Of Spellbinding Stories. While Recounting Their Tales, She Also Traces The History Of Dharavi From The Days When It Was One Of The Six Great Koliwadas Or Fishing Villages To The Present Times When It, Along With Other Slums, Is Home To Almost Half Of Mumbai. Among The Colourful Characters She Presents Are Haji Shamsuddin Who Came To Mumbai And Began Life As A Rice Smuggler But Made His Fortune By Launching His Own Brand Of Peanut Brittle; The Stoic Ramjibhai Patel, A Potter, Who Represents Six Generations From Saurashtra Who Have Lived And Worked In Mumbai; And Doughty Women Like Khatija And Amina Who Helped Check Communal Passions During The 1992-93 Riots And Continue To Ensure That The Rich Social Fabric Of Dharavi Is Not Frayed. It Is Countless, Often Anonymous, Individuals Like These Who Have Helped Dharavi Grow From A Mere Swamp To A Virtual Gold Mine With Its Many Industrial Units Churning Out Quality Leather Goods, Garments And Food Products. Written With Rare Sensitivity And Empathy, Rediscovering Dharavi Is A Riveting Account Of The Triumph Of The Human Spirit Over Poverty And Want.
