Journal of the Indian institute of architects :(JIIA)Summary: Architects at the Pune-based non-profit collective Shelter Associates
(SA) are creating a paradigm shift in slum development by following
a city-wide multi-stakeholder approach to urban development by
recognizing that slum communities are an inevitable part of our cities.
SA gives slum-dwellers a voice by arming them with data about their
community, empowering them to take decisions making them partners
in the developmental process. This data is the ultimate evidence of
critical gaps in the service delivery system bringing the Urban Local
Bodies (ULB), communities, and the civil society on a level-playing field.
Understanding lived experiences, cultural practices, and preferences
of slum-dwellers has helped SA architects break the chains of their
academic discipline. Involving communities and ULBs in the process of
designing is leading to innovations both in design and processes setting
precedents for a multi-stakeholder approach to slum rehabilitation.
