Rajasthan urban housing and habitat policy and guidelines for action plan - Urban Development and Housing Department (Government of Rajasthan) (2006)

A document that highlights the details of the steps to be undertaken to meet the aims of the Rajasthan Urban Housing & Habitat Policy (RUHHP-06)

Posted on 11 Oct, 2010 04:06 PM

The mission of the Rajasthan Urban Housing and Habitat Policy (RUHHP - 06) is:

To provide shelter to all the sections of the population
To ensure sustainable development of human settlements
To ensure a better quality of life for the population
To adopt a multisectoral approach and involve and use the potential of all levels of stakeholders.

The RUHHP-06 is broadly in consonance with latest National Housing and Habitat Policy-2005 (Ist draft has been issued). The document goes on to highlight the present urban and rural situation in Rajasthan, the increasing population density in the urban areas because of migration of people from rural to urban areas and the housing issues arising because of this increased density of population in urban areas.

The policy thus focuses on balanced development, promotion of in situ-urbanisation, vertical construction and the use of sustainable development models.
