Abstract: Urbanisation and proliferation of slums are major challenges for a sustainable large scale development. The rurban slums are created when the settlement of urban village becomes a part of cities during the process of expansions. These rurban slums differ from rest of the slums unlike other slums which are formed by encroaching public and private land, often on untenable land thathas incompatible land use. Rurban slums on the contrary are self – contained rural settlement that becomes a part of larger urban agglomeration. This paper is an attempt to understand the peculiearnature of rurban slums and their characteristics which can be utilized for future development.
