City Résumés

In this activity, Indian Partners will establish City Résumés detailing their respective agglomeration’s specific current situation regarding informal settlements and poor urban communities as a basis for Course Development.

This makes sure that the case studies and courses to be developed in this project precisely react to the specific situation regarding informal settlements and poor urban communities in the Indian target regions

These Résumés will provide an overview on each city and specify precise information on the specific situation of informal settlements and poor urban communities in Ahmedabad, Coimbatore, Mumbai and Vijayawada such as:

  • Demographic, geographic and economic data on the city
  • Regional and local regulations and policies (including municipal master plans and other relevant planning documents)
  • Data on current and future housing demands
  • Data on urban poor : scope and location of affected communities, social composition, livelihood conditions
  • Critical areas/neighborhoods
  • Biggest challenges/difficulties for housing for urban poor in the specific city
  • Relevant public authorities and their interaction
  • Relevant NGOs and community organisations working in the field, other relevant stakeholders
  • Etc.
