Expected Growth Indore is essentially a trading center, and due to its strategic location serves as a hub of trade and commerce for the entire west part of India. While there was presence of quite a few industries in the area, textile industry for a long time remained the central industry of the city. Multinational and national companies have chosen to set up their industries here, solely because of the availability of suitable infrastructure. There are two main industrial areas outside the Municipal limits. Pithampur is about 25km in the south (popularly known as ‘Detroit of India’). The Indore SEZ is established here. Other is in Dewas, northeast part of the city. There are about 120 large and 480 small & medium scale units in these estates and has considerable impact on the city’s economy. These industries are capital intensive and high-tech. Present Industrial Distribution 0 5 10 15 20 25 Nos.

Life Style (Social Status, Aspiration) Map showing distances of slum locations from drainages in Indore 1. Living Environment & Differential impacts on poor Around 27 % of the city’s population currently live in slums. Significant proportions of slums in Indore are located along the stream and are prone to floods. They are also vulnerable to water logging and vector-borne diseases due to their proximity to flood plains and water logged areas. The temperature increase is also likely to cause differentially higher impacts on poor due to overcrowded settlements, low ventilation and poor vegetation cover. Since most poor cannot afford space cooling devices beyond fans, nor the increasing costs of electricity, they are likely to be impacted differentially.
