Town Planning Parameters for Low Income Groups/Slums
In developing countries a large number of people in the cities live in housing and urban
settlements which does not comply with official planning regulations. There are many
factors responsible for this. However; one of the important is opportunities for access to

conforming to official requirements. Where these costs are greater than the households
can afford, they have little alternative but to seek other options.
