In India, the urbanization is taking place at very large scale. Urban centres are growing twice as fast as the national population. Resulting in proliferation of the mass housing, especially for the economically weaker section that are designed for numbers but lack in consideration for the traditional housing patterns and inherent incrementality. Such considerations ensure regional connect for people migrating to urban centres from rural areas. For that matter the study deals with analysis of evolution and need of mass housing. Further, it gives an understanding about traditional housing pattern. It also gives a historical overview of mass housing policies and discusses current housing scenario. Furthermore, it identifies deficiencies in public sector mass housing. In addition, it elaborates need to address the traditional living patterns and incrementality. Moreover, it explains that how it can be a solution to overcome the deficiencies of public sector mass housing. The study is based on the analysis of literature studies. Furthermore, it directs to formulate design guidelines for public sector mass housing catering the needs of urban population with reference to the traditional living pattern and incrementality.
