Provision of tenurial security for the urban poor in Delhi: recent trends and future perspectives

Quantitative and qualitative demand for slum and non-slum housing in Delhi: Empirical evidences from household data

“…Moreover, estimates for housing demand need to be area-specific because housing market is divided into submarkets by urban area due to location dependency. In this respect, while a number of studies have raised issues of housing supply constraints in Indian cities (Ahmad & Choi 2009Kumar, 2008;Kundu, 2004;Pugh, 1991;Sivam 2003;Srirangam, 2000), empirical literatures on demand side are relatively rare. There are only three studies conducted to estimate housing demand at the national level (Bandyopadhyay, Kuvalekar, Basu, Baid, & Saha, 2008;Dholakia, 1980;Tiwari & Parikh, 1998).…”

Land titling, perceived tenure security, and housing consolidation in the kampongs of Bandung, Indonesia

Spatial patterns of deprivation in cities of the global south in very high resolution imagery

“…During the 1950s and '60s, slum settlements were often tolerated or neglected as "traditional villages". As large-scale evictions were found to be ineffective due to their impact on the livelihoods of dwellers (Arimah, 2011;Kundu, 2004), in situ slum upgrading (Arimah, 2011), and low-cost housing solutions such as site and service schemes and guided land development emerged (Peattie, 1982;Pugh, 2001). Resettlement programs often further contributed to impoverishment (Patel, Sliuzas, & Mathur, 2015), though some successful resettlement projects (Coelho & Raman, 2010) showed that long-term community empowerment programs are necessary to ensure lasting improvements (Viratkapan & Perera, 2006) that may also take several generations to materialize (Perlman, 2010).…”
