This paper focuses on the issue of migrant housing as an extreme site of exclusion that works not only as shelter poverty but also as a structural mechanism that perpetuates social, economic and political marginalisation of a vulnerable workforce. It demonstrates how the housing struggles faced by migrant workers eloquently demonstrate their fractured association with cities they help make and their marginalisation in urban policies that keep them on the margins of full citizenship. What questions does the experience of these migrants pose to urban planning and knowledge paradigms in Indian cities? –Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/review-urban-affairs/migrant-workers-cityscape.html Economic & Political Weekly AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 408302 IIPA IIPA 2026-04-27 61(6), Feb 7, 2026: p.60-62 AR138641 2026-04-27 AR
