Its forms and types vary from country to country. They constitute 43 percent of the total population in the developing countries of the world while in developed nations they make up only about 6 percent. Rapid urbanization and inadequate capability to cope with the shelter needs of people in urban areas have contributed to the development of informal settlements. Living in these settlements often poses significant health risks. Access to sanitation and drinking water are limited and their quality is often poor, with the result that inhabitants are exposed to a wide range of pathogens and diseases. Access to health and other services are limited; overcrowding can contribute to stress, violence and increased problems of drugs and other social problems. Together, these pose special risks to children both during the prenatal period and after birth. Brief Informal settlements play an important role in building the city economy particularly through their engagement in the informal sector, which is a vibrant support to the city economic system. They also contribute to the vibrancy of the social character of the city. Today, there is a general recognition that they are not to be considered merely as victims of dire poverty, rather should be recognized as dynamic agents capable of accepting challenges posed by urban environments. The urban development policy needs to find ways of mainstreaming them and integrate them into the city’s development systems. Unauthorized Colonies: Unauthorized colonies are those residential pockets, which have come up generally on private land developed by private colonizers. They have come up through an unplanned manner in violation of the Master Plan and Zonal Plan regulations. Although buildings in these colonies are predominantly constructed of pucca or permanent materials, they have been constructed without the authority’s approved plans and therefore without any consideration of the planning norms or land use restrictions and building norms of height and front and rear set-backs. These colonies do not have proper road networks, Client: Municipal Corporation Faridabad Consultant: Architectural Genesis 3 Report On Survey of extent of area falling under 100mtrs wide restricted belt around Dabua Air Force drainage and sewage systems, parks, playgrounds, community centers and other common facilities. Approaches of the government towards these colonies have been purely ad hoc. Over the years many such colonies have been regularized usually on political grounds. As such, the authority levied certain fees for redevelopment of these colonies but it could succeed only partially because the rate of such charges or recovery of the fines was found far too inadequate to implement the redevelopment plans. As a result, the redevelopment and the provision of the municipal or basic services were seldom completed. Thus these colonies have been lagging behind the pace of development found in higher income residential areas, making most of such colonies only marginally better than many slum resettlements colonies.

The task of conducting a survey and collecting details/particulars from the residents got extremely difficult. Following are the issues faced by the people on ground: 1. It was really difficult to stand at the buildings and enter the information 2. People were hesitant in providing the details, and the refused to give photo and id’s. 3. MCF Officials have to meet the residents and explained the situation quite a few times. 4. In some cases, we feel that resident are taking this survey as a process of relocation, they threatened the team to stop the survey. 5. Twice the group of people stopped our team and threatens to beat them and only after authorities’ intervention our team got out from the situation. 6. We took help from the SHO of that area and 4-6 policemen’s were provided to accompany the team for 4-5 days.
