The document outlines a slum rehabilitation plan that aims to minimize displacement by vacating small areas, constructing new housing quickly, and returning displaced residents. It details the construction of 12 residential buildings to house 384 families within four months, utilizing aluminium alloy forms for efficient and cost-effective building. The project is projected to house at least twice the number of displaced persons and improve local amenities without further displacing residents.

1. SLUMS REHABILITATION

2. TECHNICAL PROBLEM AREAS VACATION OF SLUMS FOR PROTRACTED PERIOD WILL LEAD TO CREATION OF SLUMS ELSEWHERE. DISPLACEMENT IS LIKELY TO AFFECT RESIDENTIAL ACCOMODATION AS ALSO VOCATIONAL BUILDINGS.

3. PLAUSIBLE SOLUTION PLAN THE COMPLETE SLUM REHAB SCHEME. VACATE ONLY A SMALL PART OF THE SLUM. CONSTRUCT HOUSES QUICKLY AND BRING BACK THE DISPLACED PERSONS. PROCEED TO THE NEXT SMALL POCKET; AND THE NEXT ONE AND SO ON.

4. BROAD CALCULATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION VACATE A HYPOTHETICAL AREA OF 100 x 100 M = 10,000 Sq M . LIKELY FOOT PRINT OF CONSTRUCTED AREA = 10,000 x 0.5 = 5,000 Sq M . BALANCE 5,000 Sq M WOULD BE LEFT FOR ROADS, SERVICES, WALKWAYS, LANDSCAPING AND SO ON.

5. SIZE OF DWELLIG UNITS EACH DWELLING UNIT WOULD COMPRISE OF:- TWO LIVING / BED ROOMS. ONE KITCHEN. ONE STORE ROOM. ONE BATH ROOM. ONE TOILET. TOTAL SUPER BUILT UP AREA OF ONE DWELLING UNIT = 50 Sq M.

6. SIZE OF EACH BUILDING RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS WOULD BE OF G + 3 CONFIGURATION. EACH FLOOR WOULD HAVE EIGHT DWELLING UNITS (DUs). SUPER BUILT UP AREA OF EACH FLOOR WOULD BE 8 X 50 = 400 Sq M . TOTAL NUMBER OF DUs IN EACH BUILDING WOULD BE 8 X 4 = 32 DUs .

7. CALCULATION FOR NUMBER OF BUILDINGS TOTAL FOOT PRINT OF CONSTRUCTED AREA – 5,000 Sq M. FOOT PRINT OF EACH BUILDING – 400 Sq M . NUMBER OF BUILDINGS THAT WOULD BE CONSTRUCTED – 5,000/400 = 12.5 SAY 12 BUILDINGS. TOTAL NUMBER OF DUs CONSTRUCTED – 12 X 32 = 384 DUs.

8. RECOMMENDED METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION CONSTRUCTION IS RECOMMENDED BY USE OF ALUMINIUM ALLOY FORMS BECAUSE OF:- HIGH SPEED OF CONSTRUCTION. CONSTRUCTION IS THREE TO FOUR TIMES FASTER THAN TRADITIONAL METHOD . CHEAPER CONSTRUCTION. 15 TO 20% LOWER THAN TRADITIONAL METHOD .

9. TIME FRAME FOR CONSTR OF ONE BLDG PROCURE ONE SET OF FORMS FOR EIGHT DUs VIZ. ONE FLOOR . CARCAS FOR EIGHT DUs IS CONSTRUCTED IN ONE WEEK . CARCAS FOR ONE BUILDING COMPRISING FOUR FLOORS IS CONSTRUCTED IN – FOUR WEEKS (ONE MONTH). FINISHING WILL TAKE – ONE MONTH .

10. TIME FRAME FOR CONSTRUCTION OF TWELVE BLDGS ASSUMPTION – FOUR SETS OF ALUMINIUM FORMS ARE AVAILABLE. EACH SET OF THE FORMS CAN CONSTRUCT ONE FLOOR OF EIGHT DUs AT A TIME. WE HAVE FOUR SETS OF TRAINED CREW TO CONSTRUCT WITH THESE FORMS.

11. TIME FRAME FOR CONSTRUCTION CONSTRUCT CARCAS MONTH ONE BLDGS Nos 1 TO 4 MONTH TWO BLDGS Nos 5 TO 8 MONTH THREE BLDGS Nos 9 TO 12 MONTH FOUR FINISHING BLDGS Nos 1 TO 4 BLDGS Nos 5 TO 8 BLDGS Nos 9 TO 12

12. LIKELY ACHIEVEMENT 384 FAMILIES; AVERAGE SIZE – 6 MEMBERS = 2,304 PERSONS WOULD HAVE BEEN HOUSED IN FOUR MONTHS . NUMBER OF PERSONS HOUSED WOULD BE AT LEAST TWICE THE NUMBERS DISPLACED . ENTIRE AREA WOULD HAVE ROADS AND OTHER ACCEPTABLE LEVEL OF MODERN AMENITIES . FOR BALANCE OF SLUM AREAS, NO ONE WILL HAVE TO BE DISPLACED OUT OF THE SLUM .

13. GRADUATED PROGRESS OF WORK HAVING SUCCESSFULLY REHABILITATED THE FIRST 100 M X 100 M = 10,000 Sq M OF THE SLUM, PROGRESS TO THE NEXT 10,000 Sq M . FOR THIS SPACE WE MAY NOT HAVE TO DISPLACE ANYONE OUT OF THE SLUM AREA. WORK ON SERVICES & OTHER AMENITIES CAN BE UNDERTAKEN SIMULTANEOUSLY SO AS TO BE IN TIME WITH HOUSE CONSTRUCTION.

14. PURE STATISTICS 384 DUs ARE CONSTRUCTED IN FOUR MONTHS (122 DAYS). 384 X 6 = 2,304 PERSONS ARE HOUSED IN 122 DAYS. RATE AT WHICH THE DEPRIVED PERSONS OF THE SOCIETY ARE HOUSED: - 2,304/122 = 18.88 SAY 19 PERSONS PER DAY . (THIS IS A GOOD ACHIEVEMENT)

15. FINAL COMMENTS HIGH SPEED CONSTRUCTION USING ALUMINIUM ALLOY FORMS HAS BEEN TRIED OUT AND FOUND TO BE SUCCESSFUL. IT IS TECHNICALLY AN ACHIEVABLE PROJECT AT THE SPEED AND COST INDICATED. ALUMINIUM FORMS, IF PROPERLY HANDLED & MAINTAINED, CAN BE USED 1000 TIMES .
