In Shelter, a HUDCO-HSMI publication, special issue on World Disaster Reduction Day, October 19, 1999:

This paper proposes an alternative means of addressing the problem of managing urban land prone to disasters through a process encompassing different scales, a multitude of activities and involving many concerned agencies. The aim here is to evolve an enduring and holistic development mechanism for informal settlements in disaster prone lands, involving up gradation pertaining not only physical development but also related to social and economic development.

This paper is adapted from a presentation made at the conference on 'Natural disaster prevention, land-use planning and sustainable development', Paris, June 1999.
