Slum Upgradation

The SHD’s work looks at the infrastructural, spatial, and tenurial upgrading of low-income urban neighbourhoods. Upgrading focuses on the sustainable, equitable, and efficient in-situ improvement of existing inadequate housing.

This work focuses on:

• Co-producing upgrading plans and protocols with residents and local governments.
• Infrastructure and planning support to upgrade project implementation.
• Shaping state government policy on in-situ upgradation.
• Long-term impact of improved housing on health, income, livelihoods, and social inclusion.
