Understanding Inclusive Land Development and Analysing its existing problems and solution in the Indian Context Deeksha Sharma 1Student of Masters in Urban and Rural Planning, Department of Architecture and Planning, Indian Institute of
Technology, Roorkee, Uttarakhand, India ---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------2. INCLUSIVE DEVELOPMENT AND ITS TYPES Abstract - Inclusive land development is equity-based development. Development in any society will help overall development with the involvement of all (community, government, private developers, etc.). Urbanization is the basic cause of migration, which leads to problems such as land scarcity, lack of resources, high rent, low wages, and lack of affordable housing and so on. All these problems lead to informal settlements, which are increasing the number of poor in any society or community. Inclusive development should take place in such a way that it is helping poor to improve their socio-economic status and inclusive land development is about providing basic amenities and infrastructure for the poor for their socio-economic development.
Inclusive development is ‘equity-based development, which is focused on the development of the poor in the community. About 55.3% of the world’s population is living in urban areas (Nation, 2018). In India 1 out of 5 people, living in urban areas lives in an informal settlement (Sanjaynagar Slum Redevelopment Project, 2022). The informal settlements are the cause of migration, economically weaker groups and lack of affordability of land and services (Inclusive Development). Inclusive development is proposed to reduce this gap by providing at least the basic service and amenities to the poor of the community such as a house, basic services, infrastructure and opportunities for economic growth. The planning of the Indus valley civilization shows the form of inclusive development such as providing roads, bathrooms and storage facilities for all (Inclusive Development), which is focused on the infrastructure for all.
Key Words: Inclusive land development, Equity-based development.
1. INTRODUCTION
There are a few types of inclusive development: i) Social inclusive development, ii) Economical inclusive development, and iii) Political inclusive development. Social inclusive development includes the abolition of social inequalities in society. Economical inclusive development includes providing opportunities for income generation to all. Political development includes the policy-making process to enhance the participatory development of society (Inclusive Development).
Development should help to grow each individual in a community. Still, there is a huge difference between the number of rich and poor in society (in India). Inclusive development is when the whole community come together for the development of society. Adam Smith (Inclusive Development) in his essay Wealth of Nations says that a society, in which a major part of the population is poor and miserable, will not grow and people will not be happy as they are supposed to be. Inclusive development is a key to making society involved directly or indirectly in the development of the whole.
Inclusive land development is a partial part of social and economic inclusive development. It is about providing infrastructure for one’s social and economic status and growth. The social aspect is, in terms of providing the house and social status (supply-side intervention). Similarly, the economic aspect provides them opportunities (demand-side intervention).
The aim of the paper is to understand inclusive land development and go through some case studies to understand its importance in the Indian context. The objective is to get the few outcomes that can be suggested as interventions required in the policy of inclusive land development in India. What is the key to inclusive land development and through what ways it can be achieved, this is been discussed in the paper.
3. DEMAND AND SUPPLY SIDE IN INCLUSIVE LAND DEVELOPMENT
The methodology followed will include firstly, the study of the material explaining inclusive land development and its parts. Secondly, looking towards the demand side and supply side intervention of this. Thirdly, analyse the case studies to understand the procedure followed in the current situation in the Indian context. Fourthly, finalizing the key points through the analysis and giving the suggested intervention.

Increasing the affordability is a demand-side intervention and increasing the availability of options is a supply-side intervention. However, there is a gap between supply side and demand side.
