Nagpur City-Wide Slum Upgrading Strategy Slum Typologies 1. Duplication of Slums and its number (39) 2. Tenable slums on government land already upgraded to good housing condition (80) 3. Tenable slums on government land with poor housing conditions and poor infrastructure (203) 4. Untenable and Vulnerable Slums (120)

In-Situ Redevelopment Example: 86 slums on Gov. land with poor housing and infrastructure (64 notified; 21 notified); 70% temporary structures. Stakeholders: NMC, Slum Communities, SRA, NIT Concern: Community consultation is needed to decide on housing options and then propose Improvement or In-situ Upgradation.
