Institutional analysis of Urban Land and Housing Policy shift in a metropolitan region, Case National Capital Region, Delhi, India
Sneha
Affordable Housing across various income groups in India is one of the pressing urban issues being faced by the governing authorities. The literature study for policies related to urban housing in India suggests that much focus has been given to the urban poor and slum rehabilitation and redevelopment. This research addresses the phenomenon of what can be described as the “Housing Dilemma in India”. Project delays, unlawful land acquisition, and agitations against the undervaluation of land by landowners have become synonyms with Real estate and private development in India. Even the projects being delivered by private developers and developing authorities also face issues in terms of a non-sustainable residential environment, lack of basic amenities, and fragmented neighborhood. The urban policy shift over the period indicates the transition from socialist approach towards more market driven approach in development policies governing land and housing market. This shift has significantly impacted the quantitative and qualitative aspects of housing and created a demand-supply gap in the land and housing market. To study, we have divided the study area into three land development models based on the geographic and political expanse. These land development models are State- oriented Model, Market Oriented Model and Mixed Model of land and Housing Development. The research further analysis the relations of these agents within a particular land development model. All the three land development models operating in NCR are unique in terms of interrelationship among various agents, thus the urban built also varies within each land and housing market. Through early research on the upcoming policies, we found that the component of land regulation is still not being addressed, thus this research provides an opportunity to understand the implications of these forthcoming urban governance policies and regulations which will shape the future urban development in India.
