This book is about a pioneering study undertaken with a view to understand the socioeconomic background of the slum dwellers in Chennai who were resettled and their problems at the resettlement colonies. The level of community participation, the role of the Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board, the involvement of professionally trained social workers, and NGOs in the process of resettlement has been analysed.

This study was first of its kind when it was carried out for it covered the issue of resettling slum dwellers. This process of resettlement has been carried out via social work methods which can be a guide to future projects. It is a must read for those who are working or studying about people living in slums.
