Abstract
The Netherlands Habitat Commission was founded to coordinate all activities during the International Year of Shelter for the Homeless (1987). Over the years in the Netherlands, both on the governmental and nongovernmental level, attention to and support for the urban problems in the Third World has significantly increased. The Commission had taken the initiative of developing a so called concentration town project, based on the concept that targeting aid to one city will strengthen the impact of each individual project. A pilot project is being established in the Indian city of Bangalore. The results so far are promising. Through this project the NHC would like to show how use can be made of the growing interest in the plight of the urban poor in the Third World.
