Abstract:

Housing is the major sector of urban infrastructure. Government of India has launched the scheme “Housing for All by 2022” for urban areas. To achieve this goal Government is providing subsidy to the urban poor upto Rs. 1 lakh per house which causes huge burden over the country’s economy. Despite urban houses are not affordable to the poor due to escalating land & construction cost. This scenario can be improved if the land or construction cost can be reduced to some extent without compromising with the quality of structure. Low cost housing offers the use of various low cost material & technique which reduces the overall cost of construction. In this paper an attempt is made to review the various researches on low cost housing material & techniques which can be used for both rural and urban areas according to their suitability in different conditions.
