Shipping containers with bio-toilets can be modified as comfortable homes at costs of around 1 lac or less per unit ...on a large scale for the homeless poor in urban areas, slums and colonies. the project may be suitable on PPP basis.

I feel group housing should be a public-private partnership. After sale or ownership transfer, the complex or building and facilities maintenance must continue to be under public control. We need to maintain original structure and beauty of building and surroundings.

13) - Provide tax incentives and preference to companies which can produce houses quicker, cheaper and that are more environmentally friendly. Suggestions - Contor Crafting (3D Printed houses in 24 hours, Wooden Skyscrapers - See example of CF Moller in Stockholm). Care has to be taken to secure sustainable wood. Fast construction can happen if all pieces of the skyscraper are fabricated outside India and assembled on site. China is doing this to build skyscrapers at an amazing rate.

12) - Make it mandatory that all new constructions must have a rain water harvesting and recycling system. In addition solar panels placed on all rooftops for distributed electricity generation. Also rooftop farms and green walls to be more environmentally sound whilst providing food for residents. All new constructions must have a biowaste to biogas system to prevent wastage.

11) Build Up. Encourage owners of low lying housing schemes and flats which take up a lot of land to give up their land (in return for compensation) to build multistory housing plots (>20 to 30 flats). The owners must also be entitled to have a flat within the multistory building. Also destroy all encroachments as these take up valuable urban space.

1) - Encourage Citizens to adopt an area in their city/town/district to look after and make sure that the area is properly developed. Promote companies that use environmentally friendly and fast construction methods (wooden skyscrapers, 3D printed houses) 8) - Make a list of demands from developers, act as a watchdog to ensure work is properly done, can provide feedback to developers. 9) - Promote a citizens funding scheme

The real estate sector needs to be regulated builders in the greed to make a fortune havetakenthe common man for granted. Topics like carpet area, conveyance of land, transfer rights,formation of a society, future FSI, amenities provided and warranty on construction should be regulated by a regulator. Agreements should be cleared by the regulator. Part from putting up an effective regulator the government should ensure that the prices are in control and the gap between the demand and supply is

Government should enforce and ensure compliance to stricter and more stringent housing standard policies that prevents builders from trapping buyers into a investment that doesn't have the basic amenities. Road, Water, Drainage, Adherence to building standards, Common Area, Rain Water Harvesting, Common Garbage Disposal and collection facilities, Solar UPS and heaters and the complete gambit. If it does make the house more expensive, so be it.. But, the buyer will be at peace after the purchase.
