| Policy + Impact |
| |
In India, FSI (Floor Space Index) to cross subsidize construction by developers is being undertaken in Bombay, Pune and Nagpur in Maharashtra where a 1995 state policy for this purpose was enacted. Under the Slum rehabilitation scheme, NGOs, an additional incentive to build rehabilitation housing in exchange for on site floor space index increases in form of sale units and transferable FSI increases in the form of TDR. Households do not make a financial contribution but their agreement to allow their present dwellings to be torn down is seen as their contribution in lieu of their investments of the past. Earnings from TDR and the sale of market-rate housing are used to pay for construction costs; but a more important contribution of SRA is to provide security of tenure for slum dwellers.
The Alliance has taken up these projects with the following intentions:
|
01 To demonstrate that NGOs can design solutions where housing is built for communities and not market interests
02 To develop dialogue and negotiations with financial institutions to blend funds
03 To capacitate community cooperatives to manage housing after construction
04 To develop recommendations for government to improve and refine the policy to reach out to more households and settlements.
05 To explore ways to adapt and change some aspects to make this strategy work in other cities and other countries. |
