Provisionary and Regulatory Support for Urban Homeless

The portfolio is the reflection of Housing Studio work that aims to efficiently address the issue of housing unaffordability in Surat by developing a various housing sub strategy in which the housing choices are distributed among all income groups. In order to understand the housing scenario in the city of Surat we were introduced with different exercises for Situation Assessments through primary analysis. This analysis focussed more on to understanding the baseline situation in the Surat city to develop individual sub strategies comprehensively. This was used as a base to project and envision various growth scenarios in the year 2035 to help us formulate a set of enabling and provisionary sub-strategies. The portfolio also focusses on P4 sub-strategy as a “Provisonary and Regulatory support for Urban Homeless” to provide adequate, accessible and decent shelters for Urban Homeless and Construction workers (migrants) through permanent supportive and transitional housing on long and short term interventions along with reforming the existing framework supporting them.
