Although poverty and slums are the prime issues under UN-HABITAT agenda of environmental sustainability, slums, the inevitable part of urban environment, have not accounted for inclusive cityplanning. Developing nations, where about 60 % of world slum population resides, are increasingly under pressure to uplift the urban poor, particularly slum dwellers. The paper focuses on prevailing approaches to tackle the problem of slums and their impact on environment and well-being. Being leading developing nation in pro-poor initiatives, the paper attempts to investigate into Indian approaches about slums and concludes upon measures to be incorporated in slum redevelopment strategies for inclusive urban planning resulting in overall urban environment improvement.
