This book, edited by Darshini Mahadevia, is a comprehensive exploration of shelter security in urban India, focusing on pathways, barriers, and outcomes. It compiles research conducted by the Centre for Urban Equity (CUE) at CEPT University, examining the dynamics of informal housing and the living conditions of the urban poor in various Indian cities. The book discusses the role of public housing programs, such as the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) and the Basic Services for the Urban Poor (BSUP), in addressing housing issues. It highlights the importance of shelter security as a foundation for social protection and inclusive urbanization.
