Sinopsis

Urbanisation is the future of mankind. The increasing urbanisation is irreversible and inescapable. Slums have come to form an integral part of the phenomena of urbanization particularly in developing countries. The world’s slum population is expected to reach 889 million by the year 2020(UN HABITAT). It may be a long way to reach the goal of millennium as “cities free of slums‘, but at least the beginning can be “ no planning for cities without including slums‘. The present study is just an earnest attempt in this direction. This is just the beginning.
