The shifting and settling of rural population in urban setups is termed

The places where poor people struggle to make a living and bring up their families, and the places where about one third of the world’s urban population live. slum is an area characterized by over-crowding, deterioration , in sanitary conditions or absence of facilities or amenities, which endanger the health, safety or morals of the inhabitants of the community.

17% of urban India lives in slums i.e. Nearly one in every six urban Indian residents lives in a slum.

of slum

rapid population growth: Many countries simply cannot respond to rapid urbanization quickly enough.

People are coming to cities far faster than the planning process can incorporate them. Often, they find their own land and build a shack before the government has a chance to learn of their existence.

urbanization: Due to no jobs and no return from farming and non farming activities in their native place, increasing debts forced them to migrate to the cities where they got small jobs but not enough income to afford proper housing forcing them to settle in the slums.

inadequate housing deficient facilities overcrowding poor people poor sanitation congestion

“Space and light and order These are the things that men need Just as much as they need bread or a place to sleep.”

Le Corbusier Physically, an area of the city with inadequate housing, deficient facilities, overcrowding and congestion Socially, a slum is a way of life, a special character which has its own set of norms and values reflected in poor sanitation, health values , health practice , deviant behaviour and social isolation.

congestion : Population growth has outpaced the ability of city authorities to provide for housing and environmental and health infrastructure due to which people are force to live in miserable conditions.

poor governance: Governments often fail to recognize the rights of the urban poor and incorporate them into urban planning and are left with no affordable housing thereby contributing to the formation of slums. the poverty line

1 overcrowding

The slums are a refuge area for, the homeless and the socially adjusted that live in typically poor quality and insecure houses. Over time, the slum expands, becomes dense and spreads in the nearby empty spaces to accommodate new dwellers.

I n a d e q u a t e consumption of necessities including food and, often, safe and sufficient water, often problems of indebtedness with debt repayments significantly reducing income available for necessities.

3employement Lack of formal recognition and low levels of productivity and incomes causes a majority of slum dwellers to earn their living from informal jobs .Low permanency of these jobs leads to phases of unemployment.

4 education

Though the literacy rate in slums too has gone up to 78% compared to the overall urban literacy of over 84%, significant fraction of the slum children are involved in informal jobs or begging since they have little incentive or motivation for education.

Only 19 percent of urban Indian slums have owned and shared toilets available to a majority of their residents. In 50 per cent of slums, the prevalent form of sanitation for residents is public or community toilet blocks.

6 basic services and infrastructure Daycare/vocational training healthcare emergency service, public transport, communication , law enforcement and amenities like piped water , sanitation, drainage , roads , footpaths are generally insufficient, ineffective or unavailable.

7 crime scenario Insufficient law enforcement and inadequate public policing support illicit economy such as drug trafficking, brewing, prostitution,gamb-ling that ultimately manifest into high crime rates.

8 slum permanency In the rapidly growing cities, areas once occupied by slums are later occupied for other purposes. The moved slum emerges elsewhere, perhaps to be replaced still later by another occupancy.

aspects politcial aspects By making provisions for slum dwellers, political parties having vested interests for procuring votes. pre-existing gangs exploit and manipulate the weaker masses to withhold positions of power and prevent efforts for overall development.

economy aspects Long-standing slums develop an interwoven economy within the slum alongside the adjunction to the city. dwellers are not a h o m o g e n e o u s population, and some people of reasonable incomes live within or on the edges of slum communities.

social aspects Amidst all the squalor, a sense of community prevails among the residents of diverse origins in slums.

Inhabitants might be strangers to one another or wide acquaintances .

Those inhabited by immigrants of a particular race or caste may have a firm social organization

Persistence of the slum - 40-50 years old.

It was a focal point of jobs due to existence of gowdowns. So people migrated from north as scope of employment was better. occupation- vendors or rag pickers.

development pattern Rajkot emerged from a village, the plan depicts the evidence of irregular pattern juxtaposed with the geographical pattern. It came in cental position in Gujarat, and the seat of government shifted to the east of river Aji. The natural boundaries of the settlement was de-marked by the north and south nullahs.

1890 A.D.

1920 A.D.

a well planned layout of rajkot was disrupted by the establishment of slums which resulted into deteriorated standards of living and increase in pollution.

Ribbon development was seen around the transportation corridor where public spaces and river banks were occupied by migrants.

The growth rate of slums is comparatively very high than the growth rate of the city and many times that of the facilities.

The number of slums have increased from 24 sums to 74 slums in past 25 years.

The old railway alignment shifted from the town. new industrial estates and aerodrome gave new character to the town. Causeways constructed across the river.

Slum dwellers are engaged in occupations like daily wage laborers, vendors, rag pickers, animal husbandry, housemaids etc.

Main occupation is of “bhangaar” (Rag pickers) and vegetable selling(vendors). the occupation include housemaids, drivers Per day income ranges between Rs.150- Rs.300.

Requisite of labour for the coal works by the railway station acted as a stimulant for the migration of people from Radhanpur to Rajkot.

Demolition of the coal works resulted into joblessness.

Dispossession compelled the migrants to start working as daily wage labourers on construction sites and as house helps.

Augmented ďŹ nancial conditions enabled them to re-occupy the shanties demolished by the government next to the railway tracks.

Informal settlement with its survival economy represents recycled city, which is an antithesis to the energy splurge of the formal city. A negligible component of energy, mostly recycled, is the only input required in the built forms of the slums. . This recycled component translates into reducing the absolute costs of living in the c i t y .

The slums should be acknowledged as service providers.

They also offer a variety of services including job training, rehabilitation for drug addicts, and soup kitchens.

Shelters develop empowerment based "wrap around" services in which clients are case managed and supported in their efforts to become self-reliant.

slum - city relationship

Despite its spontaneous and improvised character, the informal sector has provided virtually the only delivery vehicle which had had any success in providing appropriate, low cost solutions to the shelter problems of the poor. Slums are a solution that appears to deny conventional planning orthodoxy.

Spaces has takes precedence over performance, function over aesthetic.

Banks and other finance institutions often exclude the dwellers. As a result, they have to resort to loan sharks who charge very high interest rates and further impoverish them.

Desertion and Destabilization ( Bu re a u c ra c y a n d c o rru p t i o n ) The authorities see land occupied by slums as most convenient source of land for public works and new commercial developments thus ignoring the needs of the dwellers. These mega-schemes destabilize and displace them and further results in deteriorating the condition of housing as well of social amenities in the city.

Under the constant pressure by developers and threats of displacement the slumdwellers have been pushed further into a state of uncertainty.

Privacy

slum from the dwellers’ eyes slums are the first stopping point for immigrants – they provide the lowcost and only affordable housing that will enable the immigrants to save for their eventual absorption into urban society. As the place of residence for lowincome employees, slums keep the wheels of the city turning in many different ways.

Slums are also places in which the vibrant mixing of different culture frequently results in new forms of artistic expression.

Inability to improve

Homeless shelters help in accommodating the seasonal migrants.

They help in breaking the cycle of slum manifestation by reducing the influx of slum dwellers in the city. They also give refuge to the pavement dwellers, especially during the winters

Industries develop along transport routes, wider scale of movement motivate lower income residents to live close to these employment opportunities.

conventional supply of housing and the demand for it has been filled

the occupational requirement is very well accommodated in the informal settlement where accesses and edges are adapted for these activities.

Victimization

G o v e rn m e n t ' s commitment to the projec of development has regularly placed enormous burden on those people least able to defend them.

Financial exclusion

The city residents perceive the slum dwellers as outsiders and often alienate them from various social activities and this further adds to the existing social inequity.

mposition

The block edges tend to be where the commercial activities such as shops and in some cases light industry or craft based activities take place, while the tree structures are where residential uses are concentrated.

Slums can be viewed as partial solutions to a bigger problem. They represent a survival strategy in the face of insufficient affordable housing and lack of tenure security, often blending production and distribution spaces along with living quarters.

High mortality

Alienation

migration is a response to urbanization and industrialization which is not addressed appropriately due to lack of adequate infrastructure in the urban fabric.

The lack of toilets and overcrowding in slums leaves people with little or no privacy.

This p rob lem is particularly acute for women, adolescent girls, young couples, and large families.

Unstable income inhibits the dwellers to i n v e st i n t h e improvement of their living conditions.

Unemployment and domestic violence lured by the prospect of oblivion through alcohol or drug abuse, worsen the situation further.

the households located in the vicinity of the slums provide water to the dwellers in exchange for daily chores.

slums are generally confined and hence separated from the rest of the city by a means of conveyance.

The edge of the same is marked with informal commercial activities generated from the slum.

One of the effects of the tree structures is that they focus activity on the block edges the lack of connections through the block and weight of origins and destinations created by the Galis increases choice values at a local scale

disregard to climate factors

orientation and the nature of built form

climate is an important factor affecting site layout and building design. the built form of old cities and towns responded positively to the climate of the region and therefore created a more comfortable living environment. today, new developments generally ignore these factors when considering the orientation and the nature of the built form.

Climate was one of the important considerations in evolving a conducive living environment.

Most of the plots are small and permitted only row house development.

The plot sizes are worked out to suitably accommodate courtyards in the built form.

The resultant built form was compact, low rise with internal court yards a nd simila r in p rinc ip le to the tra d itiona l towns.

This informal characters also helped in breaking the monotony and rigidity of the spatial organization.

informal character

The terrace can be used as outside sitting room. It is designed to promote interaction between between neighbours through an element of low rised parapet.

This further enhances and integrates the inside with the outside.

most of planned developments are very monotonous and rigid in terms of spatial organization. the informality and flexibility which has permitted changes and growth within the traditional urban fabric is seen in this development.

appropriate open space outdoor spaces, used for a variety of activities, are very important in the Indian context. very often, these spaces are sacrificed to accommodate a larger number of plots. wherever open spaces are provided, they are appropriately designed to suit the needs of the people. this provision of open spaces encourages the social, cultural and economic activities which can take place there.

form and planning of areas basic space requirement: basic space requirements are established- in public housing, a standard dwelling is used to house all sizes of families with different backgrounds. these dwellings are established according to their economic conditions and take into account the socio - economic conditions of the occupants.

income generating activities income generating

activities are integrated

into housing schemes-

the design of any housing development, particularly for the lower income groups, should provide for work activities and should be flexible enough to suitably accommodate them. most planned housing disregards this fact, and small scale income generating activities spring up in various locations in an improvised way.

Low rise built form is suitable for this planning.

The advantage of low-rise development being greater contact with the ground which helps to balance the temperature.

development stage 1

development stage 3

Form And Planning of Areas

A variety of outddor spaces are important for various activities to take place. the courtyard type built form is very suitable.

For this climate, desirable orientation of the longer sides of buildings should be towards north-south,as this will ensure reduced solar radiation on the built form during the summer months.

needs alternative shading devices +plantations + narrow streets

services

services and public amenities- this is a major problem concerning all urban areas of the country. providing proper provisions for the services and ammenities creates a hygienic environment which helps to maintain physical and mental well-being of the individual and community.

Linear double-banked planning --lacks privacy --formal character --limited climatic functionality

Staggered linear planning ---lacks privacy ---formal character ---functions better climatically

evolution of house form the dwellingsare planned to suit the life style of the people like, Charans (Animal Husbandary) Devipujaks(Vegetable Vendors) Rag pickers

---Staggered cluster formation ---creates central common space for interaction ---climatically suitable planning ---informal character ---creates opportunity for multifunctionality of spaces.

---creates constricted vistas which change at every junction, breaking the monotony ---each cluster exhibits a different identity ---the open spaces create a varying character as per functions ---unplanned spaces create scope for future adaptation as per needsflexibility for modification

identity and privacy stereotype mass housing lacks vitality and inhibits individual identity and privacy. the current building practices discourage any attempt by the user to modify the unit to suit his needs and enhance his individuality.

efficiency of plot sizes & their organization The houses were designed with narrow frontage and common party walls, so as to use the land more efficiently.

Plots were made narrow and deep to reduce the length of the acces roads.

---open space is vital for animal husbandry.

---alongwith common shed for the cattle of entire community, open space within module combined with the built area suffices needs of storage, daily chores and habitation.

space is required for lorries and vegetables in the case of vendors · accordingly, module with adequate open space is ideal.
