Abstract

This thesis presents a detailed analysis of sustainable affordable low-cost housing in India. It may seem counterintuitive to combine the concepts of sustainability with affordability, yet it is the only method to increase a project's durability and lifespan. The thesis' main objective is to examine the current policies in existence as well as the execution of various policies throughout the world using literature review case studies. India is making significant progress toward its 'Housing for All Mission 2022' objective, but it still has a long way to go. The policies regulating affordable housing have laid the basis for a smoother procedure of involving numerous stakeholders at various stages. Within India, a global ecosystem is required to meet not only affordable housing needs but also skill training and reform opportunities for low-income and financially deprived people.
