Informal housing can be broadly defined into two types: first, those in which occupants illegally occupy a certain area of a residential location and build a dwelling on the land; second, housing or residential areas which do not meet the master plan or building regulations. This report describes and evaluates the informal housing policies in India, introducing the improvement of the living standards brought on by these policies to the low-income residents of Chennai, while the case of Kannagi Nagar will be used to analyse the adverse effects of said policies.
