Abstract

The Colombo City Beautification Project is one of the most discussed social programmes in recent urban development policy. This beautification strategy initiated by the Sri Lankan Government in 2006–14 included urban development and urban housing in the project, which had become a major issue for the city of Colombo. In order to address this, the former government came up with a master plan to relocate over 68,000 underserved households to adequate housing units under the urban regeneration project. The inevitable outcome of the 2011 project was the forced relocation of low-income dwellers into new urban housing communities in Colombo.
