A social housing in Mumbai - Competition

Transparence Social Mass housing for smart cities Design Competition

Increasing urbanization, however, has its challenges on providing housing for migrant population who may not be able to afford housing otherwise available in the cities.

The primary reasons for the increasing numbers in urbanization are the job opportunities and the standard of living, amenities etc. that the city has to offer. But this migration is also causing a drop in the quality of life and a loss in the sense of socio cultual belonging.

The theme for this year Transparence looks at the design of a social masshousing complex,which integrates the concepts and principles of a smart city itself.

The housing will be exclusively for the migrant population, looking for employment/employed in the city. The housing complex will thus inculcate the philosophy of a smart city LIVE WORK AND PLAY.

LIVE: Residents will be provided with a decent quality of life with basic public amenities

WORK: Residents may also have a work environment inside the housing complex to generate income.

PLAY: Entertainment hubs and relief spaces in and around the complex
