The Informal City Inclusive Growth For Poverty Alleviation

Looking at the ongoing practices, perceptions, plans and programmes based on participatory learning process, it analyses various inter-related aspects of growth and poverty alleviation, viz-a-viz the problems of housing, basic infrastructural services, transport, micro-credit and public health. Based on an in-depth analysis, it suggests strategies for inclusive and empowered informal sector.
