This comprehensive overview explores the primary reasons for urban growth in low-income countries (LICs), with a particular emphasis on Bangalore, India. It highlights the challenges faced by residents in shanty towns, such as inadequate housing, limited access to clean water, and employment opportunities. By discussing key amenities and infrastructure, as well as potential solutions like self-help schemes, we aim to provide insights into the complexities of urbanization in LICs. The case study of Bangalore underscores the urgent need for effective urban planning and development strategies.
