Urbanization and faster speed of our life have let us live a happy and smooth life but with accordance to the advancement there adds a discomfort to the city life. A city is considered developed when it have all the possibility to develop but as far as city’s now a day’s face many of development problems due to which the city’s development is incomplete. The urban population in India has increased significantly from 62 million in 1951 to 285 million in 2001 and is estimated to grow to around 560 million by the year 2021. It would be touching 37% of the total population in next 15 years. India’s urban population has growth rate of nearly 41% in last decade. This directly means providing additional shelters for around 65 million households, as well as places to shop, work besides number of administrative and entertainment complexes. We are focusing on sustainability in the realization the human rights to slum and its dwellers, the report examines how the rights of slum can and must be met for present and future generations. Using the human rights framework, the report analyses states’ common approaches to its water and sanitation, particularly in adopting measures both during times of normalcy and during economic and financial crises, and shows how those approaches often fail to incorporate sustainability. In this paper we tried to reach the stack holders and users to get the problems according to them rather than studying it or classifying it as a whole. The purpose reach from the classification of their problems and providing sustainable temporary solution to them such that the time till they are living there they should live not suffer their living. As a part of the conclusion to the paper we have declared the feasible sustainable solution to the problems they face. We also have enlisted points that slum users want to convey to the government. The design of the various sustainable solutions to the base problems is also given.
