Abstract
The term "slum" has many different connotations in both developed and developing countries. In some countries slums simply refer to the urban poor in general, while in others only informal settlements are considered as slums. With the growing Urbanization around the globe the urban poverty is also increasing because of lack of the sufficient resources, over-urbanization and more importantly unplanned urbanization. The urban population in India is also increasing at an enormous pace and it has resulted in various urban consequences of which Slum formation is one. In this research paper the researcher has given the general outline of existing slums in Kashmir, the paper also highlights the general living conditions of the slums in Kashmir. The research article is based on review of existing secondary sources. This research would help to give an insight to slums in Kashmir and would surely be helpful for future research in this area of concern.
