| Abstract | Theoretically, the natural / historical process of housing
delivery h as been found to be LAND--> PEOPLE--> WORKS (houses and
infrastructure). Modern sites and services projects follow a
distorted version of t h e natural housing process, which is
LAND-->WORKS-->PEOPLE. Illegal subdivisions follow the natural
process of housing delivery. Therefore they are more successful
in providing housing for urban poor.
Empirical data shows that due to high threshold of entry,
middle income group pressure, the buying of plots for other than
residential use and the lag in delivery of land, sites-and services schemes have failed in Pakistan. At t h e same time
illegal subdivisions, established by subdividing illegally
occupied government land, have flourished. Low cost of entry,
defector security of tenure, incremental development and immediate
delivery make these more suitable for the urban poor. The
problems of illegal subdivision are that they are illegally
established, therefore infrastructure delivery is very slow, they
interfere with government plans and contribute to corruption in
society.
