Project Summary
With 600,000 inhabitants across 220 hectares, Mumbai’s Dharavi is the largest informal settlement in Asia. Realizing solutions for the redevelopment of Dharavi aims at an inverse approach to transforming the slum into a modern business and housing district – Dharavi’s existing communities should be the owner-builders of their own future environment.
