This document analyzes a site for developing low-cost group housing in Delhi, India. It identifies the housing shortage problem in urban India. The site is located near Dwarka Sector 12 metro station and has access to various amenities. The site analysis examines the neighborhood context, zoning and density norms, physical features, climate and wind patterns. A zone plan is proposed with row houses aligned along the boundaries to create a central courtyard for community use.

2. IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM
 According to the 2011 census, the housing stock in urban India stood at 78.48 million for
78.86 million urban households.
 Urbanization has resulted in people increasingly living in slums and
• squatter settlements and has deteriorated the housing conditions of
• the economically weaker sections of the society.
 According to estimates of the Technical Group constituted by the Ministry of Housing and Urban
Poverty Alleviation (MHUPA), the urban housing shortage in the country at the end of the 10th
Five-Year Plan was estimated to be 24.71 million for 66.30 million households.
 The group further estimated that 88% of this shortage pertains to houses for Economically
Weaker Sections (EWS) and another 11% for Lower-Income Groups (LIG).For Middle- and High-
Income Groups (MIG and HIG), the estimated shortage is only 0.04 million.
