This book examines the housing crisis in India and underlines the need for formal affordable housing markets. India is home to the world's largest population of slum dwellers. The book examines actual causes of the problem, and the financial and political issues which underlie it. The volume:

  • Analyses multiple perspectives on affordable housing from the points of view of slum dwellers, builders, facilitators, bureaucrats, and politicians
  • Presents a fresh overview of the housing sector in India based on the conditions of slum dwellers in a typical, medium-sized, fast-growing city - Raipur, in the state of Chhattisgarh
  • Puts forward radical conclusions, practical solutions, and policy recommendations for a formal affordable housing market in India

This will be a major intervention for scholars and researchers of urban sociology, built environment, public policy, development studies, economics, political economy, institutional economics, and urban studies as well as policymakers, planners, and professionals in the urban development sector.

Inequality and Inclusive Growth in Rich Countries: Shared Challenges and Contrasting Fortunes
Rising inequality in income and wealth across the OECD has been widely recognised and identified as a major concern&#x3b; <em>Inequality and Inclusive Growth in Rich Countries</em> links this phenomenon with stagnation in wages and incomes for ordinary working households in order to address the challenge of promoting growth and prosperity. <p/>The concentration of wealth at the top of society is now seen as a threat to social and political stability. <em>Inequality and Inclusive Growth in Rich Countries</em> aims to identify what structures and policies are associated with success or failure in limiting the rise in inequality and promoting income growth for those in the middle and lower reaches of the income distribution. It analyses the varying experiences of ten rich countries over recent decades in depth, revealing that there are indeed responses that governments and societies can adopt, and that stagnation and rising inequality do not have to be accepted, but can be combatted given the political will and capacity.<br>
