Intro. Dharavi is one of the largest slums in Asia, located in the heart of Mumbai, India. With an area of about 2.1 km², it is home to an estimated population of between 700 thousand and 1 million people.
Despite poor infrastructure conditions — such as a lack of adequate sanitation, narrow streets, and simple housing — Dharavi is a vibrant hub of informal economy. Thousands of small industries operate there, producing ceramics, leather, textiles, food and recycled products, which move millions of dollars a year.
The community is known for its cultural diversity, bringing together people from various regions of India and different religions. Dharavi also draws attention for its social organization, solidarity among residents and creativity in dealing with the lack of resources.
In recent years, the government has proposed redevelopment projects, but many residents fear losing their homes and jobs, making Dharavi's future a topic of debate between urban progress and urban development
