        abstract = {Over the past years, it is seen that housing and habitat pattern has changed due to various factors such as climate, socio-cultural economical, land availability, natural calamities, government policies etc.Also besides these factors, there has been a continuous change in people’s lifestyle and living condition in order to improve the quality of life. These changes in housing trends often lead to transformation of urban morphology of an urban area/city.
In regard to this, the paper tries to compare the change in housing trends taking various surveys of housing patterns in the city of Mumbai. It will further focus on the socio-economic factors influencing the housing trends taking examples of occupational based housing such as Koliwadas, kumbharwadas etc. and government policy based builder housing such as SRA, MHADA etc. and it further will show a comparative analysis between the traditional pattern of occupation based housing and the present and future scenario of these housing typologies.},
