(Sra) In December 1995 to Facilitate Slum Redevelopment Throughout Mumbai. the Sra Has Established
A Total of 1481 Projects In the Urban Contexts of Pune Mumbai. This Research Aims to Compare The
Thermal Performance of an Urban Slum Redevelopment Project In Pune, India and Also Study the Design
Optimization of Slum Redevelopment. This Includes a Data Collection and Experimental Simulation
Approach to Understand the Thermal Comfort In Slum Rehabilitation Projects In Pune. the Results of The
Research Will Help In Indicating the Performance and Design of Sra Projects and Form a Comparative
Analysis of Horizontal Slums to Vertical „Slums‟.
