FSG’s Report on Informal Housing, Inadequate Property Rights

In India, as in many other developing countries, urban population growth and the short¬age of planned affordable housing have led to 26–37 million households (33–47 percent of the urban population) living in informal housing (residences on encroached land or in unplanned settlements). This report written by FSG and funded by Omidyar Network applies a property rights lens to segment the different types of informal housing, to understand the size and the needs of these segments, and to identify potential solutions to meet these needs.
