It addresses questions such as: 1. What is the nature of state policies towards slums? 2. How and to what extent do slum dwellers get access to welfare services from the state (health, education, water, electricity etc)? 3. How do the urban poor look upon and interact with the state? 4. Do they expect the state to provide them with services? 5. How do they seek to influence the policies and practices of state and local government institutions? 6. Do non-state actors challenge, supplement or substitute for the state in urban slums?
