The slum conditions in India aren't getting better and need basic infrastructure to survive healthy or disease-free. The case of the Dharavi slum illustrates how the quality of life of slum dwellers is worse and how they are managing in small areas. Dharavi originates from a fishing village and has now become a home for more than a million people (World Population Review, 2020). It has been concluded that Dharavi is divided into groups of either the same caste, religion or work. The first redevelopment plan of Dharavi came into existence in 1972; some kind of development in the form of roads, sewer lines and freshwater lines has been done till now. But with the rapid growth of Dharavi's population, immediate sustainable redevelopment requires. Dharavi has been divided into three time periods; colonial, post-independence and post 1981. Portuguese were the main influencer in the colonial period, and even they built the first church in Bandra. And by the end of 1800, Dharavi started filling according to communities such as Kumbharwadas with Gujratis. After independence, Mumbai started to develop, and migrants settled in Dharavi and declared slum in 1972. After that, many redevelopment proposals came. Dharavi is located in a prime location in Mumbai, making it an attraction for both developers and the government. It has mixed land use of residential, commercial, and industrial. There are three types of houses in Dharavi; kutcha, semi kutcha and pucca depending on the location. Dharavi runs a billion-dollar business within themselves with small work like recycling, leather and textile, pottery, and many more industries. Dharavi Redevelopment Project 2004 proposed five sectors for various communities, but the plan didn't succeed because of many protests and insufficient information provided to slum dwellers. Dharavi became a self-sustainable city but without sufficient infrastructure and basic essential needs. People of Dharavi have a home, workplace, and job to do. Different communities have different space requirements according to their industries. The redevelopment plan considers putting people of Dharavi in vertical slums and clearing the space while thousands or even lakhs of people will be unemployed afer these developments. That's why there are protests and oppositions of the government's decisions whenever a redevelopment proposal comes. The government needs much money to develop Dharavi, so the redevelopment proposal in 2019 has only 200 acres of land for slum dwellers, 100 acres of land for clear green spaces, and 300 acres of land for commercial complexes and sale buildings. In contrast, Favela Bairro is supported by the government and many international organisations for the funds. Favela Bairro didn't take the slum dwellers land and took sixty per cent of it in the name of redeveloping. In 1994, the government took the significant decision of legalising the property in the name of slum dwellers; it helps to count the slum dwellers and the number of houses. While the government of India scared slum dwellers by providing land only to those who were living in Dharavi before this year or that year. So people hide and never come out for population count, living becomes priority than basic infrastructure. In Favela Bairro, the government and project staff visit slum dwellers, understand their needs and develop their houses accordingly. But in Dharavi, the government proposes the plan without knowing the lifestyle of slum dwellers, what they want. Most importantly, Favela Bairro focuses on social development by establishing daycare centres, training the slum dwellers about cleanliness, sanitation, and included a lot of community activities, but in Dharavi, nothing happens.
