About MHS CITY LAB in C35, Pamposh Enclave, GK1, New Delhi

mHS CITY LAB works towards improving the quality of informally built urban housing in developing countries.

With the ongoing rapid urbanisation, informal settlements are offering affordable housing to millions today, including new migrants looking for livelihood opportunities in urban centers. Apart from the lack of basic services, these settlements suffer from poor quality construction which is often seismically unsafe.
Our vision is to help create socially inclusive cities by designing, testing and demonstrating a portfolio of viable solutions for safer housing for residents of informal settlements in developing countries. Our work in India helps residents to self-construct, and, thereby, to participate in the development of local neighbourhoods that will improve their safety, health and overall inclusion into cities.
