“…Some studies specifically engage with the consequences of formalization of land titles for slum households and report that tenure security improvement is critical for better housing and living conditions in slums (De, 2017; Kapoor and Le Blanc, 2008; Nakamura, 2014, 2017). A couple of studies also deal with the role of the micro (electoral politics and municipal finance) and the macro (globalization, neoliberalism and political economy) aspects perpetuating the proliferation of slums (Dupont and Gowda, 2020; Ren, 2018) as these contested sites continue to play an important economic and political function in the urban landscape (Zhang, 2018). Apart from this, some authors estimated the housing demand in a slum setting in Delhi (Ahmad et al , 2013).…”

Purpose In India – the largest democracy and second most populated country globally – the housing research domain is relatively under-researched and under-theorized. To support and advance research in this domain, this study aims to form and organize the repository of extant academic knowledge in the subject matter of housing research in India. Design/methodology/approach This study uses a scoping review methodology and a thematic analysis method. All the articles analyzed in this study were systematically searched by following the scoping review approach proposed by Arksey and O’Malley (2005). An initial search found 365 articles and finally, 108 articles that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed using the thematic analysis method. Findings The data extracted from these 108 articles were analyzed using thematic analysis to arrive at four thematic areas, namely, housing policy, slum housing, housing finance and affordable housing. These thematic areas and 11 sub-themes present under them were used to present a thematic map of housing policy research in India. Practical implications This paper contributes to presenting an up-to-date literature review of the housing policy research in India. Originality/value To the best of our knowledge, this scoping review focused on housing research in India is the first of its kind. We hope that this study provides a repository of extant research on housing research in India to help current and future researchers.

“…Fourth, the results of this study suggest that the distribution of health centres is not consistent with population densities, indicating poor policymaking. This situation can lead to increasingly unstable financing health systems, risky behaviours of people, and unhealthy lifestyles in society [ 57 ]. Various other studies have found a range of other challenges to health care access in Iran.…”

“…Poor fiscal planning, chronic delays, corruption and beneficiary disenchantment have become recurrent features of the model of in situ redevelopment, whereby slums are demolished and redeveloped as vertical apartments at the same site (Doshi 2013;Dupont and Gowda 2020). Most recently, it has been pithily described as 'dispossession without displacement' by Carol Upadhya and Deeksha Rao (2022).…”

In this article, I track a housing scheme introduced in Hyderabad, India, to redevelop slums (in situ) into two-bedroom apartments. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, I argue that existing forms of governance cyclically enact a suspension of poor people's lives and often dispossess the poor of one set of rights in the process of delivering another set. In their own descriptions of these schemes, displaced communities emphatically account for the forms of suffering they repeatedly incur, which are unaccounted for in the records of the state. In their experience, governance is not only arbitrary and labyrinthine, but it also entails necessary experiences of dispossession that ironically accompany schemes for their development. This regime of dispossession that chronically underlies schemes for poverty alleviation is what I call ‘cruel governance’. Over time, this mode of development accompanied by dispossession has resulted in cynical realignments of subaltern politics towards the state and its projects.
