Description

A total of 7.10 lakh houses have been sanctioned under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana – Urban 2.0 (PMAY–U 2.0) across nine states, including Uttar Pradesh. With the launch of this phase, an additional 1 crore Economically Weaker Section (EWS), Lower Income Group (LIG), and Middle Income Group (MIG) urban families are set to receive pucca housing, marking a significant opportunity to embed low-carbon and sustainable building practices at scale. This presents immense potential for integrating Lifecycle Assessment approaches, as promoted under the Asia Low Carbon Building Transition project, into mainstream urban house designs.
