This book titled “Housing for All: Design, Construction and Management” by A.K. Jain is a comprehensive assessment of the housing situation in India which not only traces the path taken by (governments so far but also outlines a roadmap for the future. The book begins with an overview of the housing scenario in India. It discusses various housing program and draws a distinction between affordable housing and adequate housing. The book also draws particular attention to housing issues of special groups such as the elderly, disabled, homeless, migrant and transit workers, students and single women. There is also a discussion on the issue of social and physical infrastructure. The book notes that housing units alone do not constitute housing but infrastructure plays a critical role in the occupancy of housing. The question of reducing the cost of housing has been vexatious for long. Jain deals with this issue in detail and suggests various low-cost technologies and house building systems for making housing more affordable. Another issue is that of rental housing. Jain suggests that giving a boost to rental housing through a slew of measures can go a long way in making housing more accessible and bring vacant housing into the market.
