Slum Policy

Slum policy refers to the government strategies and actions aimed at improving living conditions in informal and underserved urban areas, known as slums. These policies focus on providing basic services like water, sanitation, and housing, while also promoting infrastructure development, legal recognition, and community participation. The goal is to upgrade slum areas, reduce poverty, and ensure residents have access to sustainable, healthier, and more secure living environments. Effective slum policies balance urban growth with social equity, fostering inclusive city development that benefits all residents.
