Urban housing activity is not transparent. Slum clearance board dwelling unit is based on politician's recommendation for a price. Owners do not occupy for distance, losing present job etc. Govt also, with eye on votes, encourage slums with ration cards, power and water. I have near me s case of entire road occupied and many of them have own houses. While we starve for water these dhobis wash clothes

Honorable P M Sir, Hope this finds you in the best of your health and spirits. Me and my wife are your great admirers. My wife was in RSS and in BJP in Lucknow.in delhi also we are doing lot of social work. We desire to say a few things: • You have been addressing people as “ Bhaiyon aor Bahenon” whereas it should be the other way round as “ Ladies and Gentlemen” • We think that India’s development depends on adopting family planning unique methods for population control. Bye for then X-Dire

urban housing is a challenging task as this sector is progressing in haphazard manner. Majority of the private stake holders have taken the common for ride on many count. Purchasers have no knowledge whether land acquired by the builder is legal or not, whether plan is approved or not. Further they charge the purchase for the facilities which normally should come with the cost of apartment/houses. Builders are fleecing the purchasers. Government should establish an authority to control them

of the project increases. if the user takes a loan it will be utilised properly and costs will not inflate as the investors hoard the properties. Construction shold be the Business Model and Not Manupulations and oppertunism should be business. Once the money is freed from this dead investment it will be availble for development and production. At present due to high cost of Property so many projects cannot be undertaken by entrepreneurs. To increase productivity this cast must reduce.

Smart City might need to be built from scratch. But, smart buildings can be a start in existing cities. We need to get ready to accept certain realities. Smart cities need a foundation of smart buildings, the areas, and then cities. Neither can the technology be built in one night, nor should we pay foreign companies huge sums to make something fancy, but potential unused infrastructure. Simply, make living affordable now and rest will fall in place soon after.

The biggest problem always is that people who has extra means and donot need make a business out of this investment and the person requiring it cannot afford it. We must take following steps. 1. Housing loan should not be given to people having a home or already availed a Home loan. 2. Housing loan should not be given to the Industry. It should be only given to individual once they have purchased the property in the project. 3. The industry gets loan and they misutilise it in hoarding cost

Existing is alright.The more you increase facilities, more number of people will come,and settle here, will always try to survive at their minimum & s So, try to convince the slum people to go back to their original location and help them to earn their living. Govt. has to keep strict vigilance, but never use force, and put people under inconvenience. Once you convince people to shift, you may spend some money for their shifting, but Delhi will be good with no electricity and water problems.

For urban housing habitat their should be creation of more flats rather than creating private houses, this will be help full in saving our precious land for agriculture or manufacturing units because urban areas are expanding toward rural areas of India and building of homes should be done on area where agriculture is not possible (waste land) by where planting a large number of small plants on pots will be help-full in creating balance of nature over their.

1. "ONE PERSON, ONE REALSTATE PROPERTY" make it mandatory all over India. 2. Property registration should be linked to AADHAR NUMBER, so that a real state property could be uniquelly identified. 3. Single storied slums should be replaced by multi story buildings and those people in slums should be allotted houses in those multi story buildings not free of cost but with some monthly fixed charges for very long period e.g. 25-30 years.
