Urban housing shortages compel slum growth and inflated rents. Schemes like PM Awas Yojana aim for affordable homes via interest subventions and PPP models. RERA introduced accountability in real estate dealings, fostering buyer trust. For exam angles, highlight how housing investment spurs job creation across construction and ancillary industries, the challenge of land costs, and the need for integrated urban planning. Also connect credit availability (via home loans) with formalizing realty transactions to prevent black money usage.
