Locating Dharavi
In relation to Mumbai, Dharavi is particularly well located: a triangle of land in the center of the city, which is served by railway lines on two sides and bounded by the Mahim Creek on the third. The Mahim, Matunga and Sion train stations mark three corners; the Western Express Highway passes along its northern border.
Mumbai
Formerly, Dharavi was a fishing village in the north tip of Parel Island. With the expansion of the city over the years into the suburbs to accomodate the steadily growing population, Dharavi was inevitably drawn into the centre of Mumbai. Today, Dharavi, an informal township within the metropolis, one of the world’s 30 mega-slums, is in the neighbourhood of the new buisness district, the Bandra- Kurla Complex (BKC) , just south of the airport. This proximity with the BKC and the mass of transport facilities creates a huge interest from the real estate promoters and developpers.

Building an Urban Sustainable model for social housing For Slum Redevelopment Spread over 210 Ha, Dharavi represents a vibrant patchwork of people, cultures, languages, religions, castes, colors, smells... It is tens of thousands of small buisinesses and hundreds of thousands of residents coming from different provinces and ethnicities, dependant on one another and the city socially, culturally and economically. “ Dharavi has literally risen from the marshes. First the houses had stilts, then the land was reclaimed little by little, then built up brick by brick. In other words, it is testament to the survival instincts of the poor - and the success of incremental development.�
