NOW and THEN _”Rediscovering Dharavi-Kalpana Sharma” “Places are generally known as geographical dots on the maps. Dharavi is known for the people .Their lives are the story of Dharavi; their lives are Dharavi.” Once Dharavi was a swamp, a fishing village. Today it is a slum, rather, a collection of slums. Over several decades, Dharavi was invented by the people and is today a thriving, vibrant community. It is a cosmopolitan agglomeration of people of diverse ethnic, linguistic and religious backgrounds. Generally people misunderstand the fact of a slum evolution, the very fact that people are thrown in the slums because of the circumstances to live in subhuman conditions. As Jockin likes to it,” The poor are used as bulldozers to fill swamps, even out the land, make it habitable and just after this happens, the city moves in and they are moved out – to another uninhabitable plot of land”. An illegal unrecognized settlement is not entitled to any of the benefits that the government offers through its slum improvements and up gradation schemes. Areas, legal and amidst them so called illegal, illustrate the complexities of slum improvement or redevelopment. The question of illegality is washed away by the answer of a local dweller “Everything illegal in Dharavi becomes legal in due course.” The reason for people remaining in Dharavi is because it provided work. The reality of Dharavi is that people live where they find work. The “pull factor” of Dharavi lies in the fact of it being recognized as the manufacturing centre. The location proved a positive source for the employment centre. Dharavi started proving itself in various industries: tanneries, liquor industry, leather industry, pottery, soap making, bakery etc. It is countless, often anonymous, individuals like these who have helped Dharavi grow from a mere swamp to a virtual gold mine with its many industrial units churning out quality leather goods, garments and food products. Many begin as workers and end up as owners of small factories. Scrap and garbage recycling are major sources of employment and income generation. As families consolidate their economic gains, their aspirations soar. The huge leather industry of the area is a story in itself as it is one of the earliest industries to set foot in Dharavi. However, with the lack of infrastructure and deplorable conditions, even the most basic laws to prevent pollution and protect the health of the workers and the residents cannot be followed here.Though many industries attain the stature of being licensed, the remaining ones still continue to remain illegal.' Many slums enterprises and industries flourish even though they are deemed “illegal” because they do not conform either to industrial location norms or to working conditions required of such units.' The possibility of being illegal continues even over here similar to the housing. The hawkers continue to earn their bread-butter through selling their products in much cheaper costs as compared to the market price. This kind of unregulated enterprise is a great waste not only of talent but also of entrepreneurship. Now the reasons for this kind of irregular business again ties back to the migration because of which migrates from small towns and get employed over here for much cheaper costs hence resulting in the redundancy. “The realization of Dharavi being ideally located and its location would be in profitable in different ways came out during the Prime Minister's Grant Project”. The project gave a hope of redevelopment. But it again created worries about the present condition of it being illegal and hence reduction of small scale industries. With so much skill, will there be a space to exhibit it is the real question to be tackled with.

Introduction
2.1Locating Mumbai : a world class city 2.2Dharavi and Urbanism AND more
9
2.1 LOCATING MUMBAI: A WORLD CLASS CITY Mumbai is a locus of economic activity that attracts an influx of global capital as well as migrants drawn from across the country in search of opportunity. While the former forges avenues connecting Mumbai into the global network of “world class “ cities, the latter are forced to negotiate a complex spatial-political landscape where they lack adequate avenues of representationand influence. At a spatial level further challenged by the physical reality of the city, located on a peninsula , Mumbai faces acute pressure on land, resulting in the over half the population of thecity residing in informal settlements or SLUMS. The economic liberalization of India in the early1990s marked a shift in priorities and the beginning of the Mumbai s aspirations toward an outward looking, ambitious vision of global competition. This vision endorsed and presently pursued by the municipal and state government, simply stated means that “If Mumbai has to bea world class city then the slums have to go, for which strong and urgent steps need to be taken. Any encroachment of public property cannot be tolerated and must be dealt with according to therule of law”
DHARAVI
1.2 Dharavi and urbanism AND more Dharavi is characterized by its strategic location in the centre of Mumbai and tus finds itself at the heart of a challenging, highle contested debate over the future of the city and its development process. Dharavi has evolved in this context from a small fishing village whose genesis lies in the policy of demolition and relocation the city allowed for many years, where squatters were pushed off valuable land in South Mumbai and moved on to this swampy, unhygienic area. Jockin, the leader of NSDF, notes “ The poor are used as bulldozers to fill swamps, even out the land, make it habitable and just after this happens the city moves in and they are moved out to the another un-inhabitable plot of land”. As mumbai's development pushed northwards, Dharavi became its geographical centre. Currently it is located between inner city districts and financial Bandra-Kurla Complex. Strong transportation connections link the periphery of Dharavi to Mumbai, helping of make Dharavi a focal area of development. This case of contested urbanism highlights land values and built densities at the core of the argument over Mumbai 's future accentuating inequalities and driving the contest over space. The ingrained behavior of the actors involved and their complex inter-relationships accentuate this conflictive nature.

Toward the Dharavi redevelopment Project?
4.1 Government Policy Towards Slum Evolution 4.2 Entire Dharavi Redevelopment Project 4.3 Policy Comparisons and Critiques 4.4 Conclusions
25
4.1 Government policy towards slum evolution Public land encroachment in Indian cities is neither a minor nor a new problem. Central, state and local government have engaged the issue since the 1950s with very different approaches. While the latter have a much greater relevance on housing matters, central government is “the largest single owner of urban land in India” .After India’s independence in 1947, the first government approach to the issue of slums has been a harsh policy of clearance; slums were systematically demolished without any consideration for the families living on them. The radical policy of slum clearance lasted more than two decades, until in the ‘70s the evidence of the method failure in addition to practical considerations called for a change. The government perception of slums changed from being a problem to a possible solution to the problem itself. The main achievements of this decade have been policies for the provision to slums of basic amenities such as water and sanitation, the recognition of the need to relocate slum dwellers affected by government projects, and a census (1976) of slum dwellers living on government land. In the second half of the ‘80s the Bombay Urban Development Project ran two programmes (Slum Upgrading and Low-income Group Shelter Programme) that although did not gave exceptional practical results, have the merit of introducing the issue of land tenure and the idea of financing housing for LIG through the sale of properties to middle and upper income groups. In the ‘90s the idea of crosssubsided projects or LIG was consolidated, and due to World Bank pressure, the Government of Maharashtra included resettlement and rehabilitation has an integral part of every project. The Government aims were to minimize resettlements in favor of in-situ rehabilitation, to carry out the project with a more participative approach and to maintain the existing social networks. An important step towards the recognition of slum dwellers’ rights was made in 1995 with the approval of the Slum Rehabilitation Act; this act protects from eviction every citizen that can prove they have been living in Mumbai since 1st January 1995 modified to 1st of January 2000). In 2001 the Slum Rehabilitation Act was amended and it was added that if demolition was unavoidable in order to clear land, some alternative accommodation must be provided for the affected people
26
4.2 Enter the Dharavi Redevelopment Project Under conditions of global neoliberalism that have characterized urban India from 1991 onwards, Mumbai has around 13 million citizens, with an additional7 million in the suburbs and increasing numbers migrating from all parts of India over the past decades. While Mumbai became India’s financial capital in this period, at the same time over half the city’s residents live in informal settlements. One of Mumbai’s main goals is the transformation into a world-class city by shifting its image from the location of Asia’s biggest slum to a model of redevelopment . In order to become a city comparable to Shanghai, politicians intended to replace informal settlements with high-rise developments. Due to its strategic geographical location and pressures on the island city, the Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRP) was introduced as an integrated special planning area in2004 and it was declared as a crucial public project by the government of Maharashtra in 2007. The DRP has been developed by the architect Mukesh Mehta to the present. Declared as a special planning area in 2004, the Dharavi redevelopment Project (DRP) divides the area into five sectors for development by five private sector developers, to be selected through a transparent bidding process. It envisions a spatial transformation from horizontal, low-rise ‘slums’ to a high-rise podium style typology ; yet how will this change be manifested in reality. While the DRP process claims that it seeks to treat Dharavi residents as partners in the project and to ensure that livelihood issues are adequately addressed in planning and implementation (ibid.), there is at present no clear path or method for either to occur. Since the main parts of the DRP are based on the Slum Redevelopment Act, private developers are required to contribute to improve infrastructure. Under the Slum Rehabilitation Scheme (SRS), adopted in 1995, private developers build social housing For the inhabitants on the site and in turn benefit from additional for-sale buildings to generate profits. However, these rules have been modified for the area of Dharavi in the DRP.

5.1 Locating KUMBHARWADA Kumbharwada is Mumbai’s biggest potter colony. It is situated in proximity with the Eastern Express Highway and newly developed Bandra-Kurla Complex where offices of the large corporations are located. Potters in Kumbharwada have migrated from the Saurashtra in South Gujarat. They first settled in south Bombay, but as the city grew, they were pushed to the edge of city – Dharavi. Thus the potters had to relocate several times, before they were allotted land in Dharavi to establish what is called today Kumbharwada. Since four generations have been living here and practicing pottery as a major means of livelihood.

Accessibility: The polygonal area defining Kumbharwada has emerged as a predominantly as a commercial district due to its strategic location near the Bandra Kurla complex and good rail road connectivity with the rest of the city. three railway stations are found on the Dharavi’ edges . the 90feet road acts as a the most important north-south road linkages inside Kumbharwada. All the other internal roads are pedestrian.

These streets acts as a marcket place for them to display the kind of work they produce. 45
MULTIPLICITY OF SPACES Residential and commercial tenements are often very small and have a multiplicity of coexisting uses, for example as a shop, for daily living, as a work space and storage space, meaning that many activities are extended into open space outside the main structure. While the existing hutments provide relatively easy access to communal spaces, and people have adapted to such practices, the situation is far from convenient. The variations of activities in single spaces gives open spaces a diverse character as demonstrated.

Ownerships: the potters residing have a system of working. they either share the space or manage their own individual workspace. Hence having a hierarchy in the system of work as well.
59
Clustering the ownerships: Clustering the ownerships according to their usage helped in knowing the percentage of shared v/s individual work systems.
60
Understanding of the fabric:
the strategically located kilns and the urban fabric are enmeshed in a way which leads to the chaotic situation for the users. Understanding the way in which it could be solved would eventually lead to an organized living condition.

Plan at +0.00 m The plan has been worked out based on the circulation and connectivity factor. The main idea was to keep in mind the connections of various pottery activities and the way it would work. A common pathway maintained helps in connecting via all the different zones letting to glance through all the various pot making processes starting from clay prepartion to the manufacturing of the final product. The distinguished workspace and public forums helps in segregation of private v/s public spaces. The pottery institution not only acts as a public gathering point but also helps in educating the future of the coming Kumbharwada generation. The exhibition or the display areas help in re generating the work ability and showcasting the quality of work they produce to the public hence promoting the aspect of Kumbharwada. The retained temples help in communal activity. The planned kiln areas help in proper maintenance and organisation around those areas hence reducing the spillage .
