This articles examines the slum policies implemented in Delhi, in relation with the objectives of cleaning and beautifying the capital. Our analysis follows a chronological presentation. The perception of slums over this half-century is repetitive. The delhi slums dwellers are now under threat of losing their right to access the city as a consequence of the intensified demolitions of their dwelling and the judicial dicta casting of the obligation of the resettling of affecting families.
