With the increasing rate of urbanization in the country, people prefer to live in cities in search for employment opportunities. The massive increase in urban population amounts to a crisis of urban shelter provision. Lack of land and housing service results to proliferation of informal settlement on public utility sites, such as rail road easements. The governments' default solution to displace these settlements to far sites with the mandate to "decentralize" and "decongest" population concentration still remain a problem as relocation sites were not supplied with adequate services and livelihood. The study focuses on an adaptive approach to resettlements by utilizing the railroad tracks as new paradigm for public housing. The design framework highlights on strategies to formalize the 'informal' by strengthening its integration into the social and economic fiber of the city. Architecture, domestic. Housing.
