Abstract
Affordable housing is a problem that many countries are taking stock of, world over. While rapid urbanisation, growing cities provide various opportunities; there are fallouts in terms of proliferation of slums, high prices of land and building materials which render houses unaffordable for the segment at the bottom of the pyramid. Therefore, the need for adequate housing for the low-income groups will substantially increase. Most importantly, creating housing for these sections of the society, they need to be green too. They also need to handle wastages a bit more carefully, be thrifty in the usage of energy & water, handle waste in a hygienic manner to avoid outbreak of epidemics, reduced use of virgin materials and above all enhance their own quality of lives.References (7)
