What is slum?
A slum is a densely populated urban area which is characterized by a
generally low standard of living. Slums may also be known as shantytowns,
barrios, ghettos, or favelas, although some of these terms have specific cultural
meanings. In the later part of the 20th century, slums exploded worldwide,
becoming a cause for serious concern among humanitarian organizations, as an
alarmingly high number of people live in regions which could be considered
slums; in Mumbai, India, for example, an estimated 60% of the population lives inslums.
Slums can form in several ways. Classically, slums have emerged in existing
neighborhoods which fall upon hard times. In some cases, these neighborhoods
have been prestigious and well respected. A slum forms as homes are slowly
subdivided into cramped tenement apartments, and the population becomes highly
concentrated. At the same time, access to services like healthcare, fresh food, and
basic sanitation may start to become restricted, creating filth and squalor.
A slum can also arise from nowhere, as is the case with many of the
shantytowns found in developing nations. These slums sometimes seem to emerge
overnight, compacting humanity into filthy, densely packed areas with poorly
constructed and often dangerous homes. In campaigns against slums, many cities
have forcibly evicted people from these shantytowns, creating a ripple effect as
forcibly displaced people attempt to relocate to new regions.

Most of the people who live in slums are extremely poor, and many are
treated as second class citizens by their society. Health problems tend to be very
high, as a result of improper sanitation and lack of access to basic health care.
Malnutrition is another serious problem in many slums, as is crime, which can
make a slum very dangerous for its inhabitants.
Many people view slums as the ultimate symbol of inequality, and in some
regions, slums have ended up in some very unexpected locations, sometimes
neighboring the homes of the wealthy. Organizations which campaign against
slums argue that no human being should be forced to live in slum conditions, and
that as a basic act of humanity, cities need to provide livable low cost housing and
regulate construction to eliminate the growth of slums.
Unfortunately, the solution to slums is not this simple. The world's
population is rapidly growing, putting immense pressure on available resources,
and as developing countries become more developed, this pressure is likely togrow. Although it is somewhat disheartening to think about, gross inequality seems
to go hand in hand with growing societies.

Slum Rehabilitation Act 1995
TheS
lum Rehabilitation Act 1995 was passed by the government of theIndian state Maharashtra to protect the rights of slum dwellers and promote the
development of slum areas. The Act protected from eviction anyone who could
produce a document proving they lived in the city of Mumbai before January 1995,
regardless if they lived on the pavement or other kinds of municipal land. The ACT
was the result of policy development that included grassroots slum dweller
organizations, particularly SPARC
Through the Act pavement dwellers were for the first time into the
classification of households that are entitled to land for relocation. Following the
enactment of this legislation, the government of Maharashtra and the Municipal
Corporation of Greater Mumbai set out a special policy for planning the relocation
of the 20,000 households, using the information from a census Mahila Milan and
NSDF completed in 1995

Weekly round-up of some big-ticket city deals.
MUMBAI
Recently, a residential apartment in Deonar was sold for `11,000,000. The
apartment is situated in the EmbreciyaRahejaAcropolice Building (Number 2) and
measures roughly 900 sqft, giving the apartment a capital value of `12,222 per sq
ft. Deonar is located in the central suburbs of Mumbai, very close to the Chembur
micro-market and is well-known for its slum rehabilitation authority (SRA)
projects.
Residential property prices in Chembur generally range from `9,000-14,000
per sqft, meaning that the price of this apartment was clearly within the average
range. Prices have not shown much variation in the past 4-6 months as they had hit
their peak in these micro-markets and have been stagnating ever since. Hence, we

do not expect to see much price appreciation in the micro-markets of the central
suburbs, in the near future.
DELHI
A high-end residential apartment in Defence Colony was transacted at a base
price of approximately `29,300 per sq ft. This 2,050-sq ft apartment is built on a
333 sq yard plot and is part of a B+S+4 building. The buyer of this 4-BHK unit
paid `60,000,000 for the apartment and has this unit on the second floor. The
property is under construction and builder plans to deliver the property in another
6-8 months. The apartment will feature high-end amenities like modular kitchen
fittings, imported bath fittings and Italian marble flooring. Besides the above-
mentioned facilities, the buyer will also get two car parking spaces along with the
unit, and these will be available on the stilt floor.
PUNE
Recently, a 1-BHK unit at Atharva Ganga in Pashan was sold for
`2,800,000, all inclusive. The apartment, as a standard compact unit, measures 615
sq ft. Developed by Goel Ganga Developments, the flat has a capital value of
`3,650 per sqft and the project offers a wide range of amenities and facilities. The
project has exclusively 1 and 2 BHK apartments and enjoys excellent connectivity
to the main city and the Mumbai Bangalore Highway. It lies just off the University
Road and has reputed institutes like NCL and Pune University in its vicinity, with
multiplexes like E Square also nearby.

The residential rates in Pashan range between `3,300 and `8,000 per sq ft.
The development potential of the area is very good since it enjoys great
connectivity to areas like Aundh, Baner, and the rest of the city.
Airport costs 4L their homes
MUMBAI: It is probably the largest displacement and relocation in the city
in modern times. Four lakh residents will be shifted from the periphery of the
airport to other areas in the suburbs so that the ChhatrapatiShivaji InternationalAirport's modernisation and expansion can be completed by 2013.

But two years after the state began the process of acquiring 276 acres of land
needed for the expansion; the project crawls along, mired in controversy, protests
and red tape. The residents - who include 7,000 families in Sahar Village, a
gaothan (land for settlement) housing original inhabitants of the city - want to see a
clear resettlement plan before they allow a survey of the eligible homes.
"Lock one house; give a key to a new house. This is our slogan. Unless the
government follows this norm, it will find it difficult to move anyone out. There
will only be resistance," says N Sureshan, general secretary, Airport Authority
ZopadpattiSangharshaSamiti.
Two weeks ago, BaliramPawar, additional collector of Housing, asked
Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL) to show its resettlement plan.
"Unless the R&R plan is clarified to the public or their elected representatives, it
will not be possible to carry out the survey," said Pawar.
While politicians also watch keenly, as huge demographic shifts will lead totransformed and depleted civic, assembly and parliamentary constituencies, MIAL
officials are on tenterhooks as they hope the airport, which handled 23.4 million
passengers last fiscal, will handle 40 million by 2013.
Despite the magnitude of the displacement, none of the concerned
authorities - MMRDA, MIAL, Housing Development Infrastructure Ltd, Slum
Rehabilitation Authority and BMC - are accepting overall responsibility for theresettlement.

y State 'gifts' 6 builders 500 acres of slum land, 1 Feb, 2011,12.54PM IST, Nauzer K Bharucha,TNN
MUMBAI: The state government used a little-known rule in the Slum Act to
hand over almost 500 acres of slum pockets to six developers on a first come, first
serve basis between 2008 and 2010. Property experts said these plots of lands have
a development potential of about Rs 50,000 crore. Five hundred acres is equivalent
to 23 Oval Maidans.
"Under Section 3K of the Slum Act, a builder who is the first claimant on
the slum land gets to redevelop it. However, the issue here is of lack of
transparency and awarding such projects without checking the credentials of the
developer," said a senior government official who did not wish to be identified.
The controversial section does not require the developer to obtain the
mandatory 70% consent of slum dwellers in the initial stages. This has led to fights
between rival builders, court cases and allegations of nepotism, said government
sources.
"The clause empowers the government to direct the Slum Rehabilitation
Authority (SRA) to hand over a large slum cluster for redevelopment to a builder
without inviting tenders or allowing competing builders to participate in the
project," said the official.

TOI has learnt that the latest slum sprawl-47 acres in Chembur-was
sanctioned by the state government a month before PrithvirajChavan took over as
chief minister last November. Official sources said the new CM was apprised of
the controversial 3K clause, which they said was being used to gift select builders
vast slum clusters for redevelopment. They added that the son of a Union minister
is involved in one of the projects approved by the government.
The 3K provision was inserted in the Slum Act in 1999, but was never used
until almost a decade later when the first scheme at Golibar in Santa Cruz wasapproved by the government. Permission was granted to Shivalik Ventures to
redevelop 123 acres in Golibar in August 2008. A section of slum dwellers then
sought legal stoppage of the project, but the Bombay high court cleared it towards
the end of last year. Violent protests broke out when some Golibar residents
blocked a demolition squad ten days ago.
Officials said that once the government appoints a builder, other developers
in that slum cluster lose their right over the project or have to work in consultation
with the selected builder. "Once the builder gets a foothold in the project, he can
procure 70% consent from slum dwellers within one year," they said.
