| Abstraksi | : | Adequate shelter for all is one of the most pressing challenges faced by developing countries. Based on its census of 1991, India had a shortage of18.5 million houses in 1991, and this number would have swollen since then. The construction sector represents the most pressing need, namely shelter. Technolo-gies that are environmentally sustainable are another important issue in countriesthat are on the path to development. Earlier researchers have indicated that con-struction activity contributes 17% of the carbon dioxide emissions in India. Thispaper interweaves various issues and proposes a construction strategy for theIndian housing sector. Affordability of a house and availability of building mate-rials for its construction are the main constraints upon access to shelter. Thispaper analyzes the possibility of containing cost and adopting technologies thatcan achieve lower emissions. Recent government policy statements have indi-cated that an annual supply of two million new houses would be required to meetthe current shortage of housing in India. This paper estimates the investment andmaterial requirements for the construction of two million houses and evaluatesthe construction technologies commonly used as well as low-cost techniques. It isasserted that proper selection of such techniques and material can reduce the costsand emissions substantially. |
