Migration in India has been a historical process which has re emerged as a strong force shaping cities and urbanisation. Urban poor and migration are closely interrelated. This paper reflects on the linkages of urban poor migrants and their housing concerns with specific focus on women and children, who are considered to be the most vulnerable. Furthermore, the paper investigates whether housing policy concerns of the urban migrants has been addressed or they still remain invisible in the eyes of urban policy makers.
