CHAPTER 1
SLUMS AND ITS DEFINATION
A slum is a heavily populated urban informal settlement characterized by substandard housing and
squalor. While slums differ in size and other characteristics from country to country, most lack reliable
sanitation services, supply of clean water, reliable electricity, timely law enforcement and other basic services.
Slum residences vary from shanty houses to professionally built dwellings that because of poor-quality
construction or provision of services have deteriorated into slums
Slums were common in the 19th and early 20th centuries in the United States and Europe.[3][4] More recently
slums have been predominantly found in urban regions of developing and undeveloped parts of the world, but
are also found in developed economies.
SLUM DEFINATION BY VARIOUS ORGANISATIONS- INDIAN ORGANISTAIONS
 CENSUS OF INDIA- The Census of India defines a slum as "a compact area of at least 300 in population
or about 60-70 households of poorly built, congested tenements in an unhygienic environment usually
with inadequate infrastructure and lacking proper sanitary and drinking water facilities..
 URDPFI GUIDELINES- slums are legal/ illegal substandard settlements with a lack of adequate services .
 'Slums' have been defined under Section 3 of the Slums Areas (Improvement and Clearance) Act, 1956
as ‘areas where buildings are in any respect unfit for human habitation; are by reason of dilapidation,
overcrowding, faulty arrangement and design of such buildings, narrowness or faulty arrangement of
streets, lack of ventilation, light, sanitation facilities or any combination of these factors which are
detrimental to safety, health and morals’.
 RAY -A slum is a residential are a where dwellings are unfit for human habitation. Reasons include
overcrowding, faulty arrangements ,poor design, narrowness of street, lack of ventilation, light and/or
sanitation facilities.
 NSSO - A “non-notified slum” is a compact urban area with a collection of poorly built tenements,
mostly of temporary nature, crowded together usually with inadequate sanitary and drinking water
facilities in unhygienic conditions, if at least 20 households lived in that area. .
SLUM DEFINATION BY WORLD ORGANISATIONS
 UN HABITAT – heavily populated area, characterized by substandard housing , high density ,inadequate
services and are often not recognized by public authorities as an integral part of the city.
 WORLD BANK – places in cities where poor are concentrated in substandard condition .
 The definition, adopted by the U.S.A. Housing Act of 1949, declared that “slummay be said to include
any predominantly residential area where the dwelling, which by reason of dilapidation, overcrowding,
faulty arrangement of designs, lack of ventilation, light or sanitary facilities or any combination of these
factors, are detrimental to safety, health and morals.”

 According to the United Nations , “A slum is a building, group of buildings or area characterized by
overcrowding, deterioration, insanitary conditions or absence of facilities or amenities which because
of these conditions or any of them, endanger the health, safety or morals of its inhabitants or the
community”
 The Economic Survey (1978) defines slums as those parts of the city which may be unfit for human
habitation either because the structure therein are old, dilapidated, grossly congested and out of
repairs because it is impossible to preserve sanitation for want of sanitary facilities including
ventilation, drainage, water supply, etc. or because the sites by themselves are unhealthy.
SLUM DEFINATIONS BY VARIOUS RESEARCHERS AND SCHOLARS
• In her paper :A Comparative Study of Living Conditions in Slums of Three Metro Cities in India, sugata
bag defines slum as slums an unfortunate reflection of exclusionary socio-economic policies.
• According to her, migrants find shelter either in existing settlements or squatters in and around
economic hubs within the city limits or form new ones in the outer fringes of cities, which are often
referred to as ‘slums’.
• Benjamin Marx, Thomas Stoker, and Tavneet Surislums in their paper “The economics of slums in
developing world” define slum as a transitory phenomenon characteristic Slums
• According to their thinking, slums are a transitory phenomenon characteristic of fast-growing
economies, and they progressively give way to formal housing as economic growth trickles down and
societies approach the later stages of economic development.
• In their paper, Slums: perspectives on the definition, the appraisal and the management of an urban
phenomenon by Henning Nuissl and Dirk Heinrichs word ‘slum’ is a term that immediately conjures up
strong images of poverty and misery , danger and decay.
• The term ‘slum’ is used to identify the poorest quality housing and the most unsanitary conditions; a
refuge for marginal activities including crime and drug abuse, a place apart from all that was decent
and wholesome
• According to Cist and Halbert “slumis an area of poor houses and poor people. It is an area of
transition and decadence, a disorganized area, occupied by human derelicts, a catch of the entire
criminal for the defective, the down and out.”
• According to Websters , “Slum is a populous area characterized by Poverty, poor housing etc.”
• According to Urban sociologist Bergel conceives slums as “Area of substandard housing condition
within city.”.In their paper , the study of women's health in chennai slums , slum is a unchecked,
unplanned and haphazard growth near the industrial area or peripheral area with improper sanitation,
unhygienic environmental conditions, social, economic, health, educational and cultural problem

SLUM TYPOLOGY BY NSSO
• DECLARED SLUMS: Areas, which had been formally declared as slumby the respective municipalities,
corporations, local bodies or the development authorities.
• UNDECLARED SLUMS : an aerial unit having twenty five or more katcha structures mostly of temporary
nature, or inhabited by persons with practically no private toilets and provision for clean drinking
water”.
SLUM TYPOLOGY – UN HABITAT
• INNER CITY SLUMS
Inner-city slums gave birth to the concept of the slumthe process whereby central, prosperous
residential areas of cities undergo deterioration as their original owners move out to newer, more
salubrious and more fashionable residential areas.
• PERIPHERAL SLUMS
SLUMS ON THE CITY FRINGES
 squatter settlements in which households have invaded (usually public) land, or they occupy land
that has been subdivided and for which they have paid or entered a rentpurchase arrangement
with the developer or landowner. The urban periphery has distinct advantages over more central
and urbanized areas as there is less competition for the use or control of land,it is located outside
of the municipal boundaries.
 Peripheral slums can be quite large settlements - rarely constrained by competing development. In
many cases, quality of housing is relatively good – significantly better than is to be found in the
adjoining rural areas – but the level of services is generally low
SLUMS TYPOLOGY INDIAN CONTEXT (MUMBAI )
• The first type consists of single or multistoried buildings, built long ago as per, standards prevailing
then and which today are dilapidated conditions.
• In the second type of slums semi-permanent structures both authorized and unauthorized types are
found. Some of these consist of semipermanent structures built of corrugated iron sheets. They are
commonly known as „patra‟ chawals. The Koliwada area in worli (Mumbai) is full of such single stored
structures built well over a hundred years ago by fishermen.

• The third type of slum is the hutment colony on the squatter colony, called “jhoppad patties”. These
huts are built with an assortment of “Geographical assessment of slums and its effect on urban
environment” 12 materials consisting of hardboard, zinc sheets, flattened in post and gunny bags.
SLUM TYPOLOGY BY BERGAL E.E., DESAI A.R. AND PILLAI D., 1970.
There are three main types of slums
 One is the original slum - area which from the beginning consisted of unsuitable buildings. These
sections are beyond recovery and need to be razed. The Mexican slumin Wichita is an example of
an original slum.
 The second type - slums created by the departure of middle and upper class Families to other
sections and subsequent deterioration of the area.An example is the south end slum in Boston.
 The third and most unpleasant type of slum is mainly a phenomenon of transition
REASONS FOR SLUM FORMATION
Slums form and grow in many different parts of the world for many different reasons. Some causes include
rapid rural-to-urban migration, economic stagnation and depression, high unemployment, poverty, informal
economy, poor planning, politics, natural disasters and social conflicts. Strategies tried to reduce and
transform slums in different countries, with varying degrees of success, include a combination of slum
removal, slum relocation, slum upgrading, urban planning with city wide infrastructure development, and
public housing projects
Some of the major reasons are :
RURAL-URBAN MIGRATION
Rural-urban migration is one of the causes attributed to the formation and expansion of slums.[1] Since 1950,
world population has increased at a far greater rate than the total amount of arable land, even
as agriculture contributes a much smaller percentage of the total economy. For example, in India, agriculture
accounted for 52% of its GDP in 1954 and only 19% in 2004 in Brazil, the 2005 GDP contribution of agriculture
is one-fifth of its contribution in 1951.]Agriculture, meanwhile, has also become higher yielding, less disease
prone, less physically harsh and more efficient with tractors and other equipment. The proportion of people
working in agriculture has declined by 30% over the last 50 years, while global population has increased by
250%.
Many people move to urban areas primarily because cities promise more jobs, better schools for poor's
children, and diverse income opportunities than subsistence farming in rural areas. For example, in 1995,
95.8% of migrants to Surabaya, Indonesia reported that jobs were their primary motivation for moving to the
city.] However, some rural migrants may not find jobs immediately because of their lack of skills and the
increasingly competitive job markets, which leads to their financial shortage. Many cities, on the other hand,
do not provide enough low-cost housing for a large number of rural-urban migrant workers. Some rural-
urban migrant workers cannot afford housing in cities and eventually settle down in only affordable slums.
Further, rural migrants, mainly lured by higher incomes, continue to flood into cities. They thus expand the
existing urban slums.

URBANIZATION
The formation of slums is closely linked to urbanization. In 2008, more than 50% of the world’s population
lived in urban areas. In China, for example, it is estimated that the population living in urban areas will
increase by 10% within a decade according to its current rates of urbanization. The UN-Habitat reports that
43% of urban population in developing countries and 78% of those in the least developed countries are slum
dwellers.
Some scholars suggest that urbanization creates slums because local governments are unable to manage
urbanization, and migrant workers without an affordable place to live in, dwell in slums.[55] Rapid urbanization
drives economic growth and causes people to seek working and investment opportunities in urban areas.[56]
However, as evidenced by poor urban infrastructure and insufficient housing, the
local governments sometimes are unable to manage this transition. This incapacity can be attributed to
insufficient funds and inexperience to handle and organize problems brought by migration and
urbanization. In some cases, local governments ignore the flux of immigrants during the process of
urbanization. Such examples can be found in many African countries. In the early 1950s, many African
governments believed that slums would finally disappear with economic growth in urban areas. They
neglected rapidly spreading slums due to increased rural-urban migration caused by urbanization. Some
governments, moreover, mapped the land where slums occupied as undeveloped land.
Another type of urbanization does not involve economic growth but economic stagnation or low growth,
mainly contributing to slum growth in Sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Asia. This type of urbanization involves
a high rate of unemployment, insufficient financial resources and inconsistent urban planning policy. In these
areas, an increase of 1% in urban population will result in an increase of 1.84% in slum prevalence.
Urbanization might also force some people to live in slums when it influences land use by transforming
agricultural land into urban areas and increases land value. During the process of urbanization, some
agricultural land is used for additional urban activities. More investment will come into these areas, which
increases the land value.[64] Before some land is completely urbanized, there is a period when the land can be
used for neither urban activities nor agriculture. The income from the land will decline, which decreases the
people’s incomes in that area. The gap between people’s low income and the high land price forces some
people to look for and construct cheap informal settlements, which are known as slums in urban areas.[59] The
transformation of agricultural land also provides surplus labor, as peasants have to seek jobs in urban areas as
rural-urban migrant workers.[55]
POORHOUSING PLANNING
Lack of affordable low cost housing and poor planning encourages the supply side of slums.[66] The Millennium
Development Goals proposes that member nations should make a “significant improvement in the lives of at
least 100 million slum dwellers” by 2020.[67] If member nations succeed in achieving this goal, 90% of the
world total slum dwellers may remain in the poorly housed settlements by 2020.[68] Choguill claims that the

large number of slum dwellers indicates a deficiency of practical housing policy. Whenever there is a
significant gap in growing demand for housing and insufficient supply of affordable housing, this gap is
typically met in part by slums. The Economist summarizes this as, "good housing is obviously better than a
slum, but a slum is better than none".
Insufficient financial resources [70] and lack of coordination in government bureaucracy [63] are two main
causes of poor housing planning. Financial deficiency in some governments may explain the lack of
affordable public housing for the poor since any improvement of the tenant in slums and expansion of public
housing programs involve a great increase in the government expenditure.[70] The problem can also lie on the
failure in coordination among different departments in charge of economic development, urban planning, and
land allocation. In some cities, governments assume that the housing market will adjust the supply of housing
with a change in demand. However, with little economic incentive, the housing market is more likely to
develop middle-income housing rather than low-cost housing. The urban poor gradually become marginalized
in the housing market where few houses are built to sell to them.
COLONIALISMAND SEGREGATION
Some of the slums in today’s world are a product of urbanization brought by colonialism. For instance,
the Europeans arrived in Kenya in the nineteenth century and created urban centers such as Nairobi mainly to
serve their financial interests. They regarded the Africans as temporary migrants and needed them only for
supply of labor. The housing policy aiming to accommodate these workers was not well enforced and the
government built settlements in the form of single-occupancy bedspaces. Due to the cost of time and money
in their movement back and forth between rural and urban areas, their families gradually migrated to the
urban centre. As they could not afford to buy houses, slums were thus formed.[75]
Others were created because of segregation imposed by the colonialists. For example, Dharavi slumof
Mumbai – now one of the largest slums in India, used to be a village referred to as Koliwadas, and Mumbai
used to be referred as Bombay. In 1887, the British colonial government expelled all tanneries, other noxious
industry and poor natives who worked in the peninsular part of the city and colonial housing area, to what was
back then the northern fringe of the city – a settlement now called Dharavi. This settlement attracted no
colonial supervision or investment in terms of road infrastructure, sanitation, public services or housing. The
poor moved into Dharavi, found work as servants in colonial offices and homes and in the foreign owned
tanneries and other polluting industries near Dharavi. To live, the poor built shanty towns within easy
commute to work. By 1947, the year India became an independent nation of the commonwealth, Dharavi had
blossomed into Bombay’s largest slum. [72]
Similarly, some of the slums of Lagos, Nigeria sprouted because of neglect and policies of the colonial
era.[76] During apartheid era ofSouth Africa, under the pretext of sanitation and plague epidemic prevention,
racial and ethnic group segregation was pursued, people of color were moved to the fringes of the city,
policies that created Soweto and other slums – officially called townships.[77] Large slums started at the fringes
of segregation-conscious colonial city centers of Latin America.[78] Marcuse suggests ghettoes in the United
States, and elsewhere, have been created and maintained by the segregationist policies of the state and
regionally dominant group

POORINFRASTRUCTURE, SOCIAL EXCLUSIONAND ECONOMICSTAGNATION
Social exclusion and poor infrastructure forces the poor to adapt to conditions beyond his or her control. Poor
families that cannot afford transportation, or those who simply lack any form of affordable public
transportation, generally end up in squat settlements within walking distance or close enough to the place of
their formal or informal employment. Ben Arimah cites this social exclusion and poor infrastructure as a cause
for numerous slums in African cities. Poor quality, unpaved streets encourage slums; a 1% increase in paved
all-season roads, claims Arimah, reduces slum incidence rate by about 0.35%. Affordable public transport and
economic infrastructure empowers poor people to move and consider housing options other than their
current slumsInformal economy.
Many slums grow because of growing informal economy which creates demand for workers. Informal
economy is that part of an economy that is neither registered as a business nor licensed, one that does not
pay taxes and is not monitored by local or state or federal government.[86] Informal economy grows faster
than formal economy when government laws and regulations are opaque and excessive, government
bureaucracy is corrupt and abusive of entrepreneurs, labor laws are inflexible, or when law enforcement is
poor.[87]Urban informal sector is between 20 to 60% of most developing economies’ GDP; in Kenya, 78 per
cent of non-agricultural employment is in the informal sector making up 42 per cent of GDP.[1] In many cities
the informal sector accounts for as much as 60 per cent of employment of the urban population. For example,
in Benin, slum dwellers comprise 75 per cent of informal sector workers, while in Burkina Faso, the Central
African Republic, Chad and Ethiopia, they make up 90 per cent of the informal labour force.[88] Slums thus
create an informal alternate economic ecosystem, that demands low paid flexible workers, something
impoverished residents of slums deliver. In other words, countries where starting, registering and running a
formal business is difficult, tend to encourage informal businesses and slums. Without a sustainable formal
economy that raise incomes and create opportunities, squalid slums are likely to continue. The World Bank
and UN Habitat estimate, assuming no major economic reforms are undertaken, more than 80% of additional
jobs in urban areas of developing world may be low-paying jobs in the informal sector. Everything else
remaining same, this explosive growth in the informal sector is likely to be accompanied by a rapid growth of
slums
POVERTY
Urban poverty encourages the formation and demand for slums.[2] With rapid shift from rural to urban life,
poverty migrates to urban areas. The urban poor arrives with hope, and very little of anything else. He or she
typically has no access to shelter, basic urban services and social amenities. Slums are often the only option
for the urban poor.
POLITICS
Many local and national governments have, for political interests, subverted efforts to remove, reduce or
upgrade slums into better housing options for the poor.[12] Throughout the second half of the 19th century, for
example, French political parties relied on votes from slum population and had vested interests in maintaining
that voting block. Removal and replacement of slum created a conflict of interest, and politics prevented

efforts to remove, relocate or upgrade the slums into housing projects that are better than the slums. Similar
dynamics are cited in favelas of Brazil, slums of India, and shanty towns of Kenya
SOCIAL CONFLICTS
Millions of Lebanese people formed slums during the civil war from 1975 to 1990. Similarly, in recent years,
numerous slums have sprung around Kabul to accommodate rural Afghans escaping Taliban violence
NATURAL DISASTERS
Major natural disasters in poor nations often lead to migration of disaster-affected families from areas
crippled by the disaster to unaffected areas, the creation of temporary tent city and slums, or expansion of
existing slums.[103] These slums tend to become permanent because the residents do not want to leave, as in
the case of slums near Port-au-Prince after the 2010 Haiti earthquake,[104][105] and slums near Dhaka after
2007 Bangladesh Cyclone Sidr
CHARACTERISTICS OF SLUMS
 Lack of basic services
Lack of basic services is one of the most frequently mentioned characteristics of slum definitions
worldwide. Lack of access to improved sanitation facilities and improved water sources is the most
important feature, sometimes supplemented by absence of waste collection systems, electricity
supply, surfaced roads and footpaths, street
lighting and rainwater drainage.
 Substandard housing or illegal and
inadequate building structures
Many cities have building standards that set
minimum requirements for residential
buildings. Slum areas are associated with a
high number of substandard housing
structures, often built with non-permanent
materials unsuitable for housing given local
conditions of climate and location. Factors
contributing to a structure being considered substandard are, for example, earthen floors, mud-and-
wattle walls or straw roofs. Various space and dwelling placement bylaws may also be extensively
violated.
 Overcrowding and high density
Overcrowding is associated with a low space per person, high occupancy rates, cohabitation by
different families and a high number of single-room units. Many slum dwelling units are overcrowded,
with five and more persons sharing a one-room unit used for cooking, sleeping and living. Bangkok
requires at least 15 dwelling units per rai (1600 square metres). Unhealthy living conditions and
hazardous locations

 Unhealthy living conditions are the result of a lack of basic services, with visible, open sewers, lack of
pathways, uncontrolled dumping of waste, polluted environments, etc. Houses may be built on
hazardous locations or land unsuitable for settlement, such as floodplains, in proximity to industrial
plants with toxic emissions or waste disposal sites, and on areas subject to landslip. The layout of the
settlement may be hazardous because of a lack of access ways and high densities of dilapidated
structures.
 Insecure tenure;
irregular or informal settlements A number of definitions consider lack of security of tenure as a
central characteristic of slums, and regard lack of any formal document entitling the occupant to
occupy the land or structure as prima facie evidence of illegality and slumoccupation. Informal or
unplanned settlements are often regarded as synonymous with slums. Many definitions emphasize
both informality of occupation and the non-compliance of settlements with land-use plans. The main
factors contributing to non-compliance are settlements built on land reserved for non-residential
purposes, or which are invasions of non-urban land.
 Poverty and social exclusion Income or capability poverty is considered, with some exceptions, as a
central characteristic of slum areas. It is not seen as an inherent characteristic of slums, but as a cause
(and, to a large extent, a consequence) of slum conditions. Slum conditions are physical and statutory
manifestations that create barriers to human and social development. Furthermore, slums are areas of
social exclusion that are often perceived to have high levels of crime and other measures of social
dislocation. In some definitions, such areas are associated with certain vulnerable groups of
population, such as recent immigrants, internally displaced persons or ethnic minorities.
 Minimum settlement size
Many slum definitions also require some minimum settlement size for an area to be considered a
slum, so that the slum constitutes a distinct precinct and is not a single dwelling. Examples are the
municipal slum definition of Kolkata that requires a minimum of 700 square metres to be occupied by
huts, or the Indian census definition, which requires at least 300 people or 60 households living in a
settlement cluster.
COUNTERMEASURES – PLANS AND POLICIES
Slum removal
Some city governments and state officials have simply sought to remove slums.This strategy for dealing with
slums is rooted in the fact that slums typically start illegally on someone else’s land property, and they are not
recognized by the state. As the slum started by violating another's property rights, the residents have no legal
claimto the land.
Critics argue that slumremoval by force tend to ignore the social problems that cause slums. The poor
children as well as working adults of a city’s informal economy need a place to live. Slum clearance removes
the slum, but it does not remove the causes that create and maintain the slum

Slum relocation
Slum relocation strategies rely on removing the slums and relocating the slum poor to free semi-rural
peripheries of cities, sometimes in free housing. This strategy ignores several dimensions of a slum life. The
strategy sees slumas merely a place where the poor lives. In reality, slums are often integrated with every
aspect of a slum resident’s life, including sources of employment, distance from work and social life.
Slum upgrading
Some governments have begun to approach slums as a possible opportunity to urban development by slum
upgrading. This approach was inspired in part by the theoretical writings of John Turner in 1972. The approach
seeks to upgrade the slumwith basic infrastructure such as sanitation, safe drinking water, safe electricity
distribution, paved roads, rain water drainage system, and bus/metro stops.The assumption behind this
approach is that if slums are given basic services and tenure security – that is, the slum will not be destroyed
and slum residents will not be evicted, then the residents will rebuild their own housing, engage their slum
community to live better, and over time attract investment from government organizations and businesses.
Turner argued to demolish the housing, but to improve the environment: if governments can clear existing
slums of unsanitary human waste, polluted water and litter, and from muddy unlit lanes, they do not have to
worry about the shanty housing.Squatters have shown great organizational skills in terms of land management
and will maintain the infrastructure that is provided.
Urban infrastructuredevelopment and public housing
Urban infrastructure such as reliable high speed mass transit system, motorways/interstates, and public
housing projects have been responsible for the disappearance of major slums in the United States and Europe
from the 1960s through 1970s. Charles Pearson argued in UK Parliament that mass transit would enable
London to reduce slums and relocate slum dwellers.

reduction and improving the access of the poor to basic services39. These include the Swarna Jayanti Shahari
Rozgar Yojana (SJSRY); Sub-mission II on Basic Services to the Urban Poor (BSUP) under Jawaharlal Nehru
National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM); Integrated Housing and Slum Development Programme (IHSDP);
and the Rajiv Awas Yojana (RAY)
SWARNA JAYANTI SHAHARI ROZGARYOJANA (SJSRY)
Skill development has been neglected in the past and needs much faster expansion. Over 90 per cent of our
labour force at present has received no formal training prior to employment and skills are typically acquired
only on the job”40. The scheme of SJSRY targeting urban livelihoods for the poor has been revised once in
2009. Prior to the revision, the M/o HUPA commissioned two reports, the first being a general evaluation of
SJSRY across the nation41, and the second, a concurrent evaluation of SJSRY in nine states42. In particular, it
was found that there was lack of awareness about the scheme, a lack of staff to implement the scheme in the
states and a reluctance of bank officials to extend loans for micro-enterprises under the scheme.

JAWAHARLAL NEHRU NATIONAL URBANRENEWAL MISSION(BSUP & IHSDP)
The scheme of JNNURM has been implemented in mission-mode since 2005; with a revision of its guidelines in
2009. There are three official reviews of JNNURM. The first is the mid-term appraisal of the 11th Five Year Plan
by the Planning Commission47, the second is an independent appraisal of JNNURM commissioned by the M/o
UD48, and the third is the report of the High Powered Expert Committee (HPEC) for Estimating the Investment
Requirement for Urban Infrastructure Services49. In general, JNNURM has mixed reviews. It is widely
acknowledged that JNNURM has renewed focus on the urban sector throughout the country creating a
facilitative environment for critical reforms in many states. Much of the investment has been directed towards
the provision of basic services to the urban poor50.In addition, the programme is credited with creating a
space for states and ULBs to raise their aspirations for capital investments and generation of financial
resources for targeted cities/states. Critiques of JNNURM focus on the lack of community participation,
capacity building and lukewarm implementation of reforms.
RAJIV AWAS YOJANA
The scheme of RAY is a very recent scheme, which evolved from the Scheme for Slum-Free City Planning
(SFCP) under RAY, after the announcement of RAY by the President of India in June 2009 to the full-fledged
scheme of RAY approved by the Cabinet Committee of Economic Affairs (CCEA) in June 2011. On 30th July
2011, the M/o HUPA organised a Conference of State Ministers of Housing, Urban Development, Municipal
Administration/Local Self-Government to announce the launch of, discuss, and solicit feedback on the scheme.
The key suggestions that emerged from the discussions include52: • Increase of central support from 50 per
cent to a higher percentage (most suggested 80 per cent). • IHSDP (under JNNURM) served the small and
medium towns. However under RAY, there is no emphasis on the small and medium towns. Therefore, there
should be no mid-course change of IHSDP, and IHSDP should continue to service the small and medium towns
not covered under RAY; RAY envisage covering cities with a population of 3 lakh persons and above. • Basic
minimum civic facilities to the urban poor should be guaranteed. • RAY is technologically intensive and this
may prove counter-productive especially for smaller cities. • States should be given the flexibility to
implement reforms and not be straitjacketed in this issue with prescriptions from the central government. • In
promoting the construction of houses under RAY, flexibility to states should be given in the norms of house
construction across different city sizes.
NATIONAL URBANLIVELIHOODPROGRAMME
NULP should tackle occupational vulnerability by focusing on skills training and micro-enterprise development.
In keeping with the principles of a holistic convergent approach, the Working Group proposes the dovetailing
of the SJSRY scheme as a submission of NUPAM at the central level in the 12th Five Year Plan. NULP will aimat
inclusion of the urban poor and vulnerable as an integral and valued part of urban life and economics. It will
build up capacities and skills in sectors with growing employment opportunities, and organise the urban poor
through the formation of occupation-based and neighbourhood-level institutions, federating them at higher
levels. It will promote equitable access to basic services necessary for livelihoods including water supply,
sanitation, electricity and transport. And finally, NULP will promote equitable access to financial services and
credit for employment and enterprise generation among the urban poor.

National Urban Social AssistanceProgramme(NUSAP)
The Concurrent List of the Constitution of India refers issues of social security, insurance, employment,
unemployment, and labour welfare including conditions of work, provident funds, employers' liability,
workmen's compensation, invalidity and old age pension, and maternity benefits. Social security programmes
of the government of India for the poor have long focused on programmes such as rural employment
guarantee through the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA), 2005, insurance for informal
sector workers through the Rashtriya Swastha Bima Yojana (RSBY), and social assistance benefits for poor
households focusing on the aged, widows, and the disabled through the National Social Assistance Programme
(NSAP).

About
BMC is responsible for the maintenance and
development of the civic infrastructure and
administration in the Bhopal city. It administers an
area of about 648.24km2. This is termed as the
municipal boundary or the municipal limit.
Majlis-e-intezamia was the Mosque name of first
municipal body of Bhopal, which came into being in
1907 in the erstwhile Bhopal State. The funding for
the different projects under BMC is done in
collaboration with the public sector undertakings or
with the private entities.
HISTORY OF BHOPAL MUNICIPAL CORPORATION
BMC was initially Bhopal Municipality, a 20 member committee headed by a non – governmental president.
First city survey was conducted in 1916 after the enactment of Municipal act. The Municipal Board was
constituted for the first time in 1952 with Shri. Abdul karim Babu Miya as president and Shri. Deendayal as vice-
president of Bhopal. Up to 1956 the area under Bhopal Municipal limit was very small, but after that few more
surrounding villages were added to it. Further, it was upgraded to a Municipal Council with an IAS as the chief
administrator.
The area under the Bhopal Municipal Corporation expanded to 71.23km2 by 1975. Finally, in 1983 Municipal
Corporation was formed with 56 wards and Mr. R.K. Bisaria as the first mayor. Further, by 1999, 66 wards were
added to the municipal limits. Currently, Bhopal Municipal Corporation holds 72 wards under its jurisdiction.

CHAPTER 3 -PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP MODE
Public-private partnership (PPP) is a funding model for a public infrastructure project such as a new
telecommunications system, airport or power plant. The public partner is represented by the government at a
local, state and/or national level. The private partner can be a privately-owned business, public corporation or
consortium of businesses with a specific area of expertise.
PPP is a broad term that can be applied to anything from a simple, short term management contract (with or
without investment requirements) to a long-term contract that includes funding, planning, building, operation,
maintenance and divestiture. PPP arrangements are useful for large projects that require highly-skilled
workers and a significant cash outlay to get started. They are also useful in countries that require the state to
legally own any infrastructure that serves the public.
MODELS OF PPP
Different models of PPP funding are characterized by which partner is responsible for owning and maintaining
assets at different stages of the project. Examples of PPP models include:
 Design-Build (DB): The private-sector partner designs and builds the infrastructure to meet the public-
sector partner's specifications, often for a fixed price. The private-sector partner assumes all risk.
 Operation & Maintenance Contract (O & M): The private-sector partner, under contract, operates a
publicly-owned asset for a specific period of time. The public partner retains ownership of the assets.
 Design-Build-Finance-Operate (DBFO): The private-sector partner designs, finances and constructs a new
infrastructure component and operates/maintains it under a long-term lease. The private-sector partner
transfers the infrastructure component to the public-sector partner when the lease is up.
 Build-Own-Operate (BOO): The private-sector partner finances, builds, owns and operates the
infrastructure component in perpetuity. The public-sector partner's constraints are stated in the original
agreement and through on-going regulatory authority.
 Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT): The private-sector partner is granted authorization to finance,
design, build and operate an infrastructure component (and to charge user fees) for a specific period of
time, after which ownership is transferred back to the public-sector partner.
 Buy-Build-Operate (BBO): This publicly-owned asset is legally transferred to a private-sector partner for a
designated period of time.
 Build-lease-operate-transfer (BLOT): The private-sector partner designs, finances and builds a facility on
leased public land. The private-sector partner operates the facility for the duration of the land lease. When
the lease expires, assets are transferred to the public-sector partner.
 Operation License: The private-sector partner is granted a license or other expression of legal permission
to operate a public service, usually for a specified term. (This model is often used in IT projects.)

 Finance Only: The private-sector partner, usually a financial services company, funds the infrastructure
component and charges the public-sector partner interest for use of the funds.
PPP MODE – A CASE STUDYOF AMRITSARINTERCITYBUS TERMINAL
ProjectDescription
Located along the Grand Trunk (G.T.)
road, Amritsar city is not only the spiritual
centre for the Sikh community but has
traditionally been a hub for trade related
activities in this region. Given the city’s
religious heritage, Amritsar attracts large
number of tourists (as high as 50,000 per
day) who visit the Golden Temple. The
proximity of Amritsar to the Wagah
(India-Pakistan) border has also provided
an opportunity for it to develop as a trading centre for cross border commercial activities. In addition, a
significant section of the local population uses public transport such as buses for movement across the
state. These factors have had a growing impact on the existing urban infrastructure, especially the
transport infrastructure. Spread on an area of 8.5 acres, the existing bus terminal of Amritsar city, which
functioned as an intercity terminus, was established in 1965 on the G.T. Road. This bus terminal complex
included all administrative areas, passenger waiting areas as well as amenities. As per the bus schedules
drawn up by the Department of Transportation (DoT), Government of Punjab (GoP), there were as many
as 1,800 to 2,000 bus arrivals per day at the Amritsar bus terminal. With the growing demand pressures,
traffic at the terminal far outstripping the available facilities and the existing terminal building being in a
state of disrepair, the DoT, GoP facilitated by the Punjab Infrastructure Development Board (PIDB) decided
on modernising and developing the existing Amritsar bus terminal through the Build, Operate, Transfer
(BOT) route. This project was among the first bus terminal projects in India to be built and operated by the
private sector through the BOT route. The Intercity Bus Terminal of Amritsar city was developed at the
same location as the existing bus terminal. The project involved demolishing the existing terminal building
and complex and development of a modern state of the art Intercity Bus Terminal to cater to the growing
demands of the city. The project is under operation by a private operator for a period of 11 years and 5
months, which includes the construction period. At the end of the concession period, the project will
transfer back to the concessioning authority free of all encumbrances.
PPP structure of the Project
Through a two stage bidding process, DoT, GoP awarded the contract to Rohan Rajdeep Infrastructure (a
partnership between Rohan Builders (India) Pvt Ltd., Rajdeep Buildcon Pvt Ltd and Rajdeep Road
Developers Pvt. Ltd.) to undertake the development and operation of a modern bus terminal at Amritsar

on a BOT basis. Subsequent to signing of the concession agreement, the private operator established a
Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) called the Rohan Rajdeep Infrastructure (India) Pvt Ltd. for executing the
project. Under the concession agreement, the private operator was responsible for finance, building,
operations and maintenance of the Amritsar Intercity Bus Terminal complex for a concession period of 11
years and 5 months. The private operator was required to pay a project development fee of ` 35 lakhs for
the project site lease and a lease rental of ` 50,000 per month for use of the project site over the
concession period.
CurrentStatus
Subsequent to the signing of the concession agreement in February 2004, Rohan Rajdeep Infrastructure
(India) Pvt. Ltd. was able to complete project development before the predetermined time frame and the
Amritsar Intercity Bus Terminal complex was commissioned in October 2005. The project is operational.
The bus terminal presently services, on an average, 1,100 normal buses and 600 mini buses a day and
about 80-100 buses are parked within the Terminal complex overnight. While the Bus Terminal was
expected to handle 2,000 to 3,000 buses per day, it presently handles approximately 1,700 buses a day.
One of the reasons for these lower bus numbers is the inability of the private operator to ensure that all
buses use the Intercity Bus Terminal facilities as per the schedules.
Financing Information:
The project cost for the Amritsar Intercity Bus Terminal was expected to be approximately ` 19 crores at
the time of project conception. But on account of an escalation in input costs during the construction
period and quality assurances maintained by the private operator, the project cost finally worked out to `
21.34 crores. Of this amount, the debt component was ` 12 crores of 11 years tenure while the equity
component was ` 9.34 crores.
Process Analysis
Inception:
Given the growing pressure on the existing transport infrastructure at the bus terminals in Punjab and the
dismal state of the existing bus terminal buildings, the Government of Punjab decided to modernise bus
terminals in Amritsar and Jalandhar through a private operator. With the objective of modernising the
existing bus terminal in Amritsar city, the Department of Transport, GoP facilitated by the PIDB appointed
project advisors to configure and structure the project as well as assist in the bid process. Given the large
volumes of traffic at the Amritsar Intercity Bus Terminal and extensive use of the terminal by private bus
operators who were currently paying “adda fees”, it was believed that if the Government operated buses
were also required to pay such “adda fees” then a secure revenue stream could be provided to the private
operator resulting in a financially viable model for modernisation of the Amritsar Intercity Bus Terminal
through the BOT route. In a number of other bus terminal projects, commercial real estate development
was coupled with the development of the bus terminal facility. However in the case of Amritsar, a

conscious decision was made not to include commercial real estate development along with the
development of the Intercity Bus Terminal primarily on account of the existing congestion in and around
the project site. Hence the project concept was to develop a modern Intercity Bus Terminal at Amritsar
which would provide a comfortable and convenient environment for passengers to travel to and from
Amritsar. It was to be financed, built, operated and maintained by the private operator. In return the
Government was to receive a monthly lease rental from the private operator for use of the project site as
well as a one time project development fee.
Procurement: Based on the scope of work and project configuration identified, a two stage bidding
process was adopted. The RFQ for the project was issued on 28th November 2002 and 16 bids were
received of which 14 prequalified to the RFP stage. The RFP for the project was issued in April 2003 and a
proposal security in the form of a bank guarantee for ` 10 lakhs was sought. To avoid any ambiguities in bid
evaluation with respect to different bus terminal designs, the Amritsar Intercity Bus Terminal design was
frozen at the time of issue of RFP and the bid variable was defined as the concession period. The private
operator demanding the lowest concession period while meeting the project criteria was to be identified
as the successful bidder. At the RFP stage four bids were received. Subsequent to meeting the evaluation
criteria specified in the RFP document, Rohan Rajdeep Infrastructure Developers Pvt. Ltd was declared the
successful bidder and was issued a notice of award for the concession agreement in September 2003. In
February 2004 the concessioning authority - the Secretary, Department of Transport, Government of
Punjab - entered into a concession agreement with Rohan Rajdeep Infrastructure Developer Pvt. Ltd. for a
period of 11 years and 5 months which included the project construction period.
Development:
The project development was undertaken in two stages. The first was the Conditions Precedent period of
90 days and thereafter the Construction period of 18 months. Conditions Precedent: As per the concession
agreement, the private operator and the concessioning authority were required to fulfil the terms of the
Conditions Precedent within 90 days of signing of the concession agreement which could be extended
based on mutual consent. The concessioning authority was required to undertake the following:
• Support the project through issue of necessary notifications authorising the private operator to collect
“adda fees” from buses using the Intercity Bus Terminal. 141
• Given the impact of the “adda fees” on the financial viability of the project, issue necessary notifications
to make it mandatory for all intercity buses to halt and provide for embarkation and disembarkation of
passengers within the Amritsar Intercity Bus Terminal complex.
• Facilitate the transfer of land at the project site from theAmritsar Municipal Corporation to GoP and
thereafter possession under a lease to the private operator along with the registration of the land lease.
• Temporary shifting of the existing bus terminal to a different location. The private operator on his part
was required to:
• Obtain all necessary clearances and approvals,
• Furnish the performance security and bank guarantees as well as pay the project development fee of `
35 lakhs to the concessioning authority.

• Ensure financial closure of the project and submit proof of the same to the concessioning authority. The
concession terms specified that both the parties were required to issue compliance certificates regarding
attainment of Conditions Precedent. Based on the issue of such compliance certificates by both parties,
the concessioning authority was required thereupon to issue a notice to commence to the private
operator.
Construction:
Keeping in mind the financial viability of the project, the concessioning authority agreed that during the
concession period, it would not undertake, on its own or permit any other private operator, to develop a
similar Intercity Bus Terminal within a 10 km radius of this project. During the construction period, it was
also responsible for construction, operations and maintenance of a temporary bus terminal at a separate
location. Within 30 days of receiving the notice of commencement, the private operator was required to
mobilise resources to undertake construction activities. The project was to be developed based on the
standards specified in the concession agreement. The private operator was required to prepare, maintain
and get necessary approvals of the detailed drawing regarding the project design. As per the concession
terms, the private operator was required to institute a quality assurance systemof record keeping and
timely inspection and was also required to submit monthly progress reports to the concessioning
authority. The construction was required to be completed within 18 months of commencement. The
private operator was able to complete the work and commission the Intercity Bus Terminal within 17
months itself. Necessary tests were carried out by the concessioning authority prior to issue of completion
certificate. Two months prior to the end of the construction stage, the private operator was given the right
to advertise license allotments for the passenger amenities in the Intercity Bus Terminal.
Delivery:
The Amritsar Intercity Bus Terminal construction was completed and commissioned in October 2005. The
Intercity Bus Terminal includes 53 embarkation and 8 disembarkation bays covering long distance and
local bus routes. The Terminal has parking provision for 54 cars, 102 rickshaws/autos and 1838 two-
wheelers / cycles and 300 passenger seating berths. In addition to basic bus terminal facilities, the Intercity
Bus Terminal has other commuter requirements in terms of convenience stores, refreshment stalls etc. For
the convenience of passengers as well as drivers, provision for 10 dormitories has been made. Subsequent
to receiving the completion certificate from the concessioning authority, the O&M period for the project
commenced. During this period, the private operator was required to operate and maintain the project
based on the performance standards laid down in the concession agreement. The private operator was
also required to deploy necessary trained staff to undertake operations of the Intercity Bus Terminal. The
private operator had the right to levy, collect, retain 142 Public Private Partnership projects in India
Compendium of Case Studies “adda fees” from all buses using the Intercity Bus Terminal as well as user
charges for amenities provided to passengers based on the rates specified in the concession agreement.
Monthly traffic reports covering the daily “adda fees” collections and bus traffic movements had to be

submitted to the concessioning authority. For the duration of the concession period, the private operator
had to pay a monthly lease rental of ` 50,000 to the concessioning authority for lease of Intercity Bus
Terminal site.
Exit:
At the end of the concession period all immovable and movable property relating to the project will
transfer to the concessioning authority, free of all encumbrances. The concessioning authority will be
entitled to appoint a consulting engineer, six months prior to the termination date, for inspection of the
terminal facilities. The concessioning authority will issue a vesting certificate as proof of transfer of all
rights, titles and interests in the Amritsar Intercity Bus Terminal assets and facilities.
12TH FIVEYEAR PLANPPPP MODE
One of the main reasons of Mahatma Gandhi’s success while leading the freedom movement was that he could
involve people on a very large scale in the movement for independence. Similarly for any Government to be
successful, public participation in policy formation as well as execution is a must. Unless people partner the
Government in its initiatives, many a goals remain on paper and may not yield desirable results. Perhaps one of
the lesser known reasons behind the success of Narendra Modi has been his ability to make development a
mass movement by empowering people & harnessing their potential for the success of government’s efforts.
When you make people part of the policy formulation and also make partner in execution, the people assumes
the ownership of the project and hence will leave no stone unturned to make the programme
successful. Narendra Modi has always remained committed to make policy initiatives or project executions a
“Jan Andolan” (Peoples’ movement) with total Jan Bhagidari (Peoples’ participation).
While certain initiatives like Vanche Gujarat, Beti bachao, Vave Gujarat, Samaydan though initiated and
supported by Government, were more or less designed, successfully executed and even to major extent funded
by people themselves at local level.
Narendra Modi’s style of functioning and public-oriented governance is based on reviving people’s lost pride
and diverting the emerging latent energy on that account towards development and human endeavours.

As a part of empowering people and pro active and pro people governance, in Gujarat, the administration goes
to people, may it be for enrollment of girl students, distribution of tools and kits to skilled workers or for total
health checkup of children in schools.
In Vanche Gujarat (Read Gujarat) which has been one of its first kind of project in India and perhaps globally to
inculcate reading habits amongst people and particularly children met phenomenal success largely because of
large scale Jan Bhagidari. For the first time in state history the executive responsibility was assigned to non
government officers i.e. citizens.Not only that at district and taluka level it was totally funded by people through
these committees. While this unique and innovative movement in itselfneeds a dedicated research, it is because
of this mass movement it could inspire 25 lakh children to read 10 million books in a span of 8 months and a
record was created by 6 million people by reading collectively together for one hour in public places .
 Samydaan was also an initiative where during celebration of 50 years of Gujarat’s inception people took
vows to donate time for public service of their choice and by its implementation huge human resources
were invested in various projects One Swarnim Sankalp by each Gujarati in the service of Gujarat / India
which he asked from people during celebration of fifty years was another contribution by people in the
march towards peace, progress and development.
 Beti Bachao Abhiyan (Save the Girl Child) has been another wonder. By igniting and sensitizing &
touching the hearts of the people, he inspired a large number of social organizations and NGOs to take
up this mammoth task. The motivation has been so powerful that it has till date remained a flagship
programme of some very powerful social organizations. Much of the reason for the rising sex ratio at
birth is the outcome of this mass movement. It is needless to say that though there may be acts and
rules but social reforms can only be brought about by Jan Jagruti and Jan Andolan.

 Under the Vave Gujarat thought world record has been created by planting more than a million trees in
Ahmedabad in a single day, that too by people on their own with logistical support by government.
 The rehabilitation of earthquake damaged Gujarat and Kutch in particular is subject research in many
spheres and dimensions. The way Kutch has been revived and is marching ahead is a story which
unfortunately has not been adequately covered. But it is a glorious tale of people’s participation and
public partnership, may it be housing, health, education, adoption of orphan children or even physical
infrastructure. It is needless to state that it was the vision and courage of pro active Chief Minister who
not only designed pro active and pro people policies but also decentralized power to administrative
machinery in partnership with public and people at large.

An unprecedented experiment in India’s history was celebration of national festivals like 15th August & 26
January and at a different district every year. The celebrations of national festivals which had become
Government programmes without any public participation and had remained mere routine formalities were
transformed into a people’s movement for patriotism resulting into devotion and commitment to nation. It not
only rekindled the government machinery but also brought about oceans of enthusiasm in people who saw
government working at their doorstep, bringing out everybody’s involvement and which gave opportunities to
children, artists and cultural organization at local level for exhibiting talent and thereby nourishing the talent.
This also created pride among people, bringing in oneness and ushering in development in far-flung areas.
Thus by unearthing peoples’ power, the tremendous strength of Jan Shakti has resulted into Shri Narendra
Modi’s vision of bringing peace, prosperity and growth in Gujarat. The development model evolved in Gujarat
in the last decade has been a cynosure of many eyes. It is not being seen as a model just for other Indian states
but also for the entire developing world. He has made people partners in the process, rather than mere
recipients at the end.
CHAPTER 4- APPROACHES IN PLANNING
Planning Theory is the body of scientific concepts, definitions, behavioral relationships, and assumptions that
define the body of knowledge of urban planning. There are eight procedural theories of planning that remain
the principal theories of planning procedure today: the rational-comprehensive approach, the incremental
approach, the transactive approach, the communicative approach, the advocacy approach, the equity
approach, the radical approach, and the humanist or phenomenological approach
PARTICIPATORY PLANNING
Participatory planning is an urban planning paradigm that emphasizes involving the entire community in the
strategic and management processes of urban planning; or, community-level planning processes, urban or
rural. It is often considered as part of community development.[11] Participatory planning aims to harmonize
views among all of its participants as well as prevent conflict between opposing parties. In addition,
marginalized groups have an opportunity to participate in the planning process
INCREMENATLISM
Beginning in the late 1950s and early 1960s, critiques of the rational paradigm began to emerge and formed
into several different schools of planning thought. The first of these schools is Lindblom’s incrementalism.
Lindblom describes planning as “muddling through” and thought that practical planning required decisions to
be made incrementally. This incremental approach meant choosing from small number of policy approaches
that can only have a small number consequences and are firmly bounded by reality, constantly adjusting the
objectives of the planning process and using multiple analyses and evaluations. Lane (2005) explains the public
involvement implications of this philosophy. Though this perspective of planning could be considered a large
step forward in that it recognizes that there are number of “public interests” and because it provides room for
the planning process to be less centralized and incorporate the voices other than those of planners, it in
practice would only allow for the public to involved in a minimal, more reactive rather than proactive way.

MIXED SCANNING MODEL
The mixed scanning model, developed by Etzioni, takes a similar, but slightly different approach. Etzioni (1968)
suggested that organizations plan on two different levels: the tactical and the strategic. He posited that
organizations could accomplish this by essentially scanning the environment on multiple levels and then
choose different strategies and tactics to address what they found there. While Lindblom’s approach only
operated on the functional level Etzioni argued, the mixed scanning approach would allow planning
organizations to work on both the functional and more big-picture oriented levels. Lane explains though, that
this model does not do much more at improving public involvement since the planner or planning organization
is still at its focus and since its goal is not necessarily to achieve consensus or reconcile differing points of view
on a particular subject.
By the late 1960s and early 1970s, planners began to look for new approaches because as happened nearly a
decade before, it was realized that the current models were not necessarily sufficient. As had happened
before, a number of different models emerged. Lane (2005) notes that it is most useful to think of these
model as emerging from a social transformation planning tradition as opposed to a social guidance one, so the
emphasis is more bottom-up in nature than it is top-down
TRANSACTIVE PLANNING
Transactive planning was a radical break from previous models. Instead of considering public participation as
method that would be used in addition to the normal training planning process, participation was a central
goal. For the first time, the public was encouraged to take on an active role in the policy setting process, while
the planner took on the role of a distributor of information and a feedback source. Transactive planning
focuses on interpersonal dialogue that develops ideas, which will be turned into action. One of the central
goals is mutual learning where the planner gets more information on the community and citizens become
more educated about planning issues
ADVOCACY PLANNING
Formulated in the 1960s by lawyer and planning scholar Paul Davidoff, the advocacy planning model takes the
perspective that there are large inequalities in the political system and in the bargaining process between
groups that result in large numbers of people unorganized and unrepresented in the process. It concerns itself
with ensuring that all people are equally represented in the planning process by advocating for the interests of
the underprivileged and seeking social change. Again, public participation is a central tenet of this model. A
plurality of public interests is assumed, and the role of planner is essentially the one as a facilitator who either
advocates directly for underrepresented groups directly or encourages them to become part of the process
BARGAINING MODEL
The bargaining model views planning as the result of give and take on the part of a number of interests who
are all involved in the process. It argues that this bargaining is the best way to conduct planning within the
bounds of legal and political institutions.The most interesting part of this theory of planning is that makes
public participation the central dynamic in the decision-making process. Decisions are made first and foremost
by the public, and the planner plays a more minor role.

COMMUNICATIVE APPROACH
The communicative approach to planning is perhaps the most difficult to explain. It focuses on using
communication to help different interests in the process understand each other. The idea is that each
individual will approach a conversation with his or her own subjective experience in mind and that from that
conservation shared goals and possibilities will emerge. Again, participation plays a central role under this
model. The model seeks to include as a broad range of voice to enhance the debate and negotiation that is
supposed to form the core of actual plan making. In this model, participation is actually fundamental to the
planning process happening. Without the involvement of concerned interests there is no planning.[10]
Looking at each of these models it becomes clear that participation is not only shaped by the public in a given
area or by the attitude of the planning organization or planners that work for it. In fact, public participation is
largely influenced by how planning is defined, how planning problems are defined, the kinds of knowledge
that planners choose to employ and how the planning context is set.[10] Though some might argue that is too
difficult to involve the public through transactive, advocacy, bargaining and communicative models
because transportation is some ways more technical than other fields, it is important to note that
transportation is perhaps unique among planning fields in that its systems depend on the interaction of a
number of individuals and organizations
