The Real estate owners who are willing to construct apartments and to let their units should be given priority for allotment of land in urban areas than those builders who want to build apartments and sell to others..It is because the real estate owner who want remain owner of apartment will maintain quality of construction definitely to avoid future repair and maintenance expenditure.

2. How can linkage between employment/livelihood and housing be made more robust? In my view, Industrial Areas and housing colony with infrastructure like school, market place etc should be developed to-gather, to avoid long transportation, traffic, etc
