Abstract - This study examines the concept of self-redevelopment as a potential solution to urban housing challenges, particularly in Mumbai and Pune, India. The research explores the principles, challenges, and benefits associated with self-redevelopment initiatives through a comprehensive literature review, analysis of existing obstacles, and insights from stakeholders.

The study highlights the growing trend of communities taking charge of their redevelopment endeavors, emphasizing collaboration, transparency, and the potential for improved living environments. It discusses the financial, regulatory, and community-related challenges faced in self-redevelopment projects, as well as the benefits such as increased living space, greater autonomy, and improved quality of life. 2

The research methodology involves in-depth interviews with various stakeholders, including society members, architects, project management consultants, and subject matter experts. The findings reveal the importance of trust-building among society members, the need for streamlined government policies and their effective implementation, and the crucial role of professional agencies in guiding the self-redevelopment process. 3

The study concludes by offering recommendations for policymakers, urban planners, and housing societies to address housing issues effectively and contribute to the development of inclusive and sustainable urban environments. It also emphasizes the potential of self-redevelopment initiatives in creating sustainable and thriving living spaces for residents.
