This is the first book to integrate published and unpublished data in a systematic perspective on slum and pavement dwellers in Calcutta, Bombay, Delhi, Madras and other important urban centres. The major social indicators highlighted in this book-population, migration, housing, social organisation, health and nutrition, education, employment and income-focus specifically on their implications for policy and programme design for the urban poor who are overwhelmingly in the informal urban sector. This book will be invaluable as an introduction to the critical problems of urban development because it presents an integrated data-based profile of the urban poor in the major cities of India.
