Affordable housing for all urban citizens - the shelter challenge

The world is rapidly urbanised. Sustainable future urbanisms depend on the provision of shelter. What can India learn from Sweden for creating the right ecosystem of planning, policy, design and architecture and community engagement to provide affordable housing at scale?

India’s urbanisation is predominantly driven by a large scale migration from rural areas. In general, such massive migration has resulted in ghettoization and the creation of an informal housing market that is neither sustainable, nor transparent, accessible or affordable. A critical factor for ensuring the provision of a quality urban life is safe, durable and affordable shelter. From the perspectives of design, planning, technology and lifestyle as keys to urban sustainablitity, the key question that will be discussed in the panel is: What can India learn from Sweden and Scandinavia for creating a working ecosystem of planning, policy, design and architecture and community engagement to provide affordable housing at scale?
