      abstract = {This book is an earnest effort in understanding the slums  and their needs by taking a case study of Kalaburagi,  India. This study aims to contribute sustainable  methodologies to advance the living conditions of slum  dwellers and for better execution of slum policies. The  core objectives are: 1) mapping the existing slums of  Kalaburagi (formerly Gulbarga) city using slum ontology  from very high-resolution data and validating the slum map  through ground survey and using reliable data; 2)  developing a model to understand the factors which are  responsible for the present growth as well as to predict  the future growth of slums; 3) estimating the housing  demand of urban poor and suggesting a suitable site for the  rehabilitation program; and 4) suggestions for the better  intervention of government policies with special reference  to in-situ program. Urban is the future, and slums are its  reality. Sustainable development goals are directly and  indirectly concerned about the increasing urbanization and  the slums. Housing the urban poor and affordable housing to  all are the national missions. Practically making these  plans successful depends on a deep understanding of urban  issues and proper methodology and technology to handle it.  The participatory slum mapping, cellular automata slum  model, housing demand analysis, and the spatial decision  support system demonstrated in the book help in monitoring  and managing the slums and thus lead towards a slum-free  India.},
