Abstract
This study articulates that the objective of slum free Delhi is less likely to be achieved through the methods of in situ upgrading or by clearing and relocation. On the other hand in situ resettlement in high rise modern buildings is more efficient. This is demonstrated by developing better understanding about the resistance of slum dwellers to move away for settlement, the willingness to pay towards better housing, and economics of land use occupied by the slum dwellers. It is concluded that given the opportunity cost of the land occupied by the slum dwellers, it is pragmatic and at the same time economically feasible to rehabilitate them in situ with quality accommodation. The cost analysis indicates that such program would be viable solution towards twin objective of obtaining a slum free city and affordable housing for the slum dwellers.
