Delhi Advances Slum Rehabilitation with New Policy Emphasizing In-Situ Redevelopment
Delhi's new slum rehabilitation policy, passed by the Assembly, extends recognition of unplanned settlements to January 1, 2025, potentially benefiting around four lakh families. The policy emphasizes in-situ redevelopment through a Public-Private Partnership model, with plans to redevelop 17 slum clusters into high-rise residential colonies. Private developers will build housing for eligible residents in exchange for commercial development rights. Experts and courts stress the importance of preserving residents' livelihoods by ensuring relocation only when necessary and providing adequate amenities and transport from day one.
