The inhabitable housing conditions for the urban poor in small and over-crowded houses without access to ventilation and sunlight can become potential hotbed for the spread of the infectious diseases. There is also an apprehension regarding the use of air conditioners and air coolers for achieving thermal comfort in middle and high income housing.
