- Book: Living in India’s Slums : A Case Study of Bangalore/edited by Hans Schenk. Delhi, Manohar, 2001, 311 p., ISBN 81-7304-270-5.

- News articles about slums in Bangalore

- Janaagraha - an organization of citizen volunteers working for change - they’re doing some interesting research

- dynamics of participation in Bangalore slums

- water project http://www.adb.org/Water/Actions/ind/bangalore-slums.asp
