Executive MPA candidate Sonmoni Borah explores India’s ‘Housing for All by 2022’. The country is the second most populous country and is on the verge of rapid urbanization. With nearly 10 million people added to urban population each year, India’s expected to have 900 million people in urban areas by 2050. Addressing the shortage of housing, especially affordable housing, will have a multiplier effect in Indian political, economic, social and cultural life: from improving the living conditions and standards of Indian citizens to making cities more livable, comfortable and resilient. Providing affordable housing within social housing projects is a challenging goal, as it involves multiple stakeholders, a plethora of issues and spiraling land and construction costs. Under these circumstances, India sets target of providing Housing for All by 2022. About the speaker: Sonmoni Borah is an EMPA candidate at the Maxwell School and a member of the Indian Administrative Service, working in various positions over a span of 18 years. In pursuit of his EMPA, Sonmoni hopes to become more efficient and effective in planning, making, and implementing policy in a system of good governance for a sustainable development process. Sonmoni obtained a Master of Arts in Political Science in 1998 from Jawaharlal Nehru University.
