Dharavi is said to be Asia’s largest slum and is the home to over a million people according to some estimates. The area is like a self contained island of poverty and lives outside of the eyes of the local bueracracy. For a decade, the state government has tried coaxing the slum-dwellers to let it bulldoze their hutments and build high-rise apartments instead. Now there is another plan on the table and given India’s recent rapid growth rates, this one looks like succeeding.
