Abstract :
A slum is a compact settlement with a collection of poorly built tenements, mostly of temporary nature, crowded together usually with inadequate sanitary and drinking water facilities in unhygienic conditions. The factors responsible for the growth of slums are the proper planning, formulation of policies, implementation and monitoring. This paper is an attempt on the researcher in knowing the origin and development of slums in the city of Chennai.
