Speaking on making Mumbai slum free Valsa Nair Singh IAS, Additional Chief Secretary, Housing Department, Govt. of Maharashtra, said that cluster based development would be favorable to improve housing stock in the city.

“The ambitious Dharavi slum redevelopment project, the largest renewal initiative in Asia, will serve as a model for several other clusters that are planned across Mumbai. We will soon announce a new cluster development policy after taking all stakeholders into confidence,” she said.

Speaking on the new housing policy, she said that innovation in smarter homes and technology would be a part of the policy. In addition, homes for senior citizens, students housing will be given priority. These two sectors should be incentivized in the new housing policy, once the draft goes in public domain.

She went on to add, “An ideal housing policy is one that promotes affordable housing, walk to work concept and offers a better work life balance. A skilled labor force and skilling of all agents in the real estate sector is crucial for its proper growth and development.”
