| Abstract | Introduction India has the second-largest population in the world. But it is estimated that more than 290 million people in India live below the poverty line. While the urban population has nearly quadrupled over the past fifty years, one in three persons lives in abject poverty, in slums, squatter settlements, construction sites and on pavements in urban areas. The growth rate of the population living in slums, vis-à-vis the total urban population growth in the decade 1991-2001, has been summarized as a 2-3-4-5 syndrome: pointing to the annual growth rate of India’s population at 2 percent, of urban India at 3 percent, of mega cities at 4 percent and of the growth of populations living in slums at 5 percent (EHP 2003). |
