What is a slum…?
• Urbanization poses several socio-economic and environmental problems for cities in India
and one among them is the rise of slums. A slum represents a habitat unit with defective
physical, social, and economic living conditions
Slum Visit- Keel Madurai 5
• MYTH: Relocating slum residents to housing projects on the outskirts of the city solves the slum “problem.”
• REALITY: Resettling slum residents
far from their original homes and job opportunities is not usually viable. The economic and social disruption costs
are too high. Slum Visit- Keel Madurai 6
Slum Relocation
• "Water and Sanitation is one of the primary drivers of public health. I often refer to it as “Health 101”, which means that once we can secure access to clean water and to adequate sanitation facilities for all people, irrespective of the difference in their living conditions, a huge battle against all kinds of diseases will be won."
Dr LEE Jong-Wook, Director-General,
World Health Organization.

Major disadvantages in a Slumo In addition to their primarily informal-sector incomes, the residents of these settlements
suffer from multiple disadvantages:o public services are inadequate, o access to health care, education and socio-
political decision-making processes is limited o and the protection of public security is seldom
guaranteed by public authorities.

For a long time, the neglect, eviction or forced resettlement of informal settlers
was the only response of developing countries to the continuing urbanization
process.
Slum Visit- Keel Madurai 18
There is now an international consensus that comprehensive improvement of the living conditions in informal settlements (slum upgrading) is necessary in order to create conditions for long-term poverty
reduction and to gradually raise the quality of life in poor neighborhoods.

“We shall not finally defeat AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria or any of the other infectious diseases that plague the developing world until we have also won the battle for safe drinking water, sanitation and basic health care.”
