What is the scheme?
* city authorities take an unoccupied site and install basic services (sanitation, small shops, water, sewers, electricity)
* basic houses --> give these and plot of land to slum dwellers
* slum dwellers can improve houses and work in shops
Where?
Sanjay Ghandi Nagar
Pros

* no open sewers --> less water contamination --> better health
* better planned --> easier to access services
* families own land
* improved quality of life
* relatively cheap for council to provide basic housing
* families can run own businesses
Cons
* unoccupied site needed --> nearly all land occupied by slums
* impossible to rehouse everyone
* site well outside of city centre --> some worse off due to commuting
* encourages rural-urban migration
* still shortages of services
* some lose original businesses
* some richer people in the area complain about newcomers --> say theft has gone up
* people moved to poor quality land --> Sanjay Ghandi Nagar is a former quarry
