housing scenario: A RIGHT TO DWELL
role of governance
OVERALL GAPS IDENTIFIED
- Existing housing policies and schemes do not consist of any legal framework for residents
affected by slum clearance evictions and rehabilitation processes which are to be shifted into transit camps - The duration of stay for residents in transit camps is often very long, putting the idea of temporariness in question
- There is a lack of documentation to ensure decent living standards and protection of rights of the people
- Housing policies and schemes only focus on two processes – clearing the space for redevelopment, and the final rehabilitation space. The in-between has no documentation, and therefore no consideration.
