SLUM REHABILITATION VIS-A-VIS UTILITARIANISM: AN ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY
Keywords:
SLUM REHABILITATION, UTILITARIANISM, ENVIRONMENTAbstract
The threat of urbanisation has directly affected the environment and caused its deterioration in numerable ways. There are many socio-economic problems prevailing in the urban world such as unemployment, housing shortages, etc. In addition to this, there are several environmental problems that have shown up in the urban regions which need to be addressed within the coming future. One big problem that has come up in the recent time is the problem of slumdwellers in the urban world. There is no doubt in the assertion that slums are a consequence of the vast economic gap between the rich and the poor. Slums, the direct consequence of urban poor lifestyle, have been occupying space in the urban areas. This space that these slums occupy is not only a means of production but has also proven to be a means of control, domination and power.1 Slums not only point out towards the existing urban housing mismanagement faced by the megacities but it also brings to light the tragedies of the slum dwellers who rely on this living. Of the various aspects which are discussed when the slum crisis is debated, the one aspect which often goes neglected is the environmental aspect to the whole slum dilemma faced by the urban areas. From the tragedies of the slum-dwellers to the dilemma of the state in rehabilitating the slum-dwellers, the perspective of environmental cost incurred by both the state as well as its subject is often overlooked in this fight between slum-dwellers and state actors.
