Srinagar's Housing Crunch?
Kashmir Observer
|APRIL 22, 2025 ISSUE
Srinagar is now grappling with a growing housing crisis that threatens to become only worse in the coming years.
-
The latest numbers tell a stark story: from a population of 1.78 million today, Srinagar is projected to touch nearly 3 million by 2035. But is the city ready to accommodate this growth? Clearly, not yet.
The city needs at least 300,000 new housing units in the next two decades. But it is already short by nearly 19,000 units - and that's just today. What makes the challenge more complex is Srinagar's geography. With only 160 square kilometers currently developed out of the 766 earmarked in the Master Plan, and large swathes marked as flood-prone or ecologically sensitive, the space to build is limited. Urban expansion, therefore, must be sustainable.
