Abstract:
The dissertation thesis is an attempt to shed light on the approach of land-titling as an alternate
policy for slum redevelopment in India. The thesis will aim to take a departure from the
prevailing notion of land-titling for housing improvements, elucidate more on the economic
and entrepreneurial needs that can be catered through via land-titling. It is an attempt to root
the basics of capitalism for the development of slum enterprise and will aim to show how
investment and access to credit can foster economic development. Furthermore, the thesis will
also highlight how land-titling can be important for the process of urban transformation, while
initially introducing the readers to the limitation of the current planning discourse.
