    (AIKTC, 2021-05) Kadam, Abhishek; Parui, Suraj Nayan (16AR16)
    The term homelessness is the situation of individual, a family or a community staying at an unstable, illegalized, inappropriate temporal place with lack of security and hope. The economy is not able to provide employment and income to majority of rural as well as urban poor. The urban poor as a community follows two value systems: traditional and modern. The population of the city grows through birth as well as migration. A person himself/herself does not chose to live in such unwilling conditions. According to UN, 1.6 billion people live in inadequate houses while 15 million are homeless. Ever imagined of a developed country US has a large number of homeless people. Even after years of Independence, lakhs of helpless people, from every city of India, with or without a family stay above the ground under open sky baring heat, cold and rain in ragged or no clothes in some cases. Not only homeless or orphan children are in need of a rehabilitation centre, but there are several cases that require it. Cases such as child labour, child abuse, child illiteracy, drug abuse and children in mental and health condition. A line said by Mother Teressa “We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start our homes to remedy this kind of poverty.”

    Vertical space making in developing urban block
    (AIKTC, 2021-05) Kadam, Abhishek; Khan, Shoeb Ziaullah (16AR11)
    As populations expand, Urban migration, whereby population flocks to urban center looking for work leaves cities short on affordable housing, transport link and can either lead to inner city poverty or urban sprawl. Increasing demands for urban spaces pushed environment to grow vertical and compact. The customary front yard houses are removed and revamped into vertical housing, losing their greenness and their area. We need to find ways to house people without destroying what's left of our natural environment. Building upward rather than outward empowers us to have tremendous measures of individuals in a little impression, while rationing area and regular assets. We could then utilize the land for food creation, amusement or normal assets, or leave it as a characteristic zone Urban sprawl is basically another word for urbanization. It refers to the migration of a population from populated towns and cities to low density residential development over more and more rural land. The end result is the spreading of a city and its suburbs over more and more rural land. In other words, urban sprawl is defined as low density residential and commercial development on undeveloped land. Migration and urban sprawl aren’t something that is just now becoming popular, as it has been around for quite some time. Cities and their suburbs are now becoming overcrowded because of this. The effects of urban sprawl are even more problematic. The increase in public expenditure, health issues, increased traffic, environmental issues. These issues can be reduced in dense living. The cities that are denser perform the best. The cities like Manhattan, Hong Kong are less in environmental issues compared to other cities.
