Introduction

Approximately 40 million people in Bangladesh live in urban areas, out of

which 21 per cent live below the poverty line.

This means that more than eight million Bangladeshis live on less than

USD 2 a day.

Such poor urban households live in inadequate and insecure houses, often

in unsanitary conditions and face difficulties in accessing employment,

made worse by having little or no social protection.

Further, they have limited access to adequate health services and

education opportunities.

The identity of Bangladeshi slum dwellers as rightful citizens is

continuously challenged.

What Is Slum

A slum is a cluster of housing units which grow unsystematically in

government owned or private vacant land. The walls and roofs of such

houses are generally made of straw leaves, Gunny bag, polythene paper,

bamboo etc. a tin shed house or even a building may be added, if it is

situated within the purview and environment of a slum.

The physical and hygienic conditions of such houses are far below those of

a common urban residential area.
