More stumbling blocks for Dharavi revamp
Hinduistan Times: The Dharavi Redevelopment Project, conceived seven years ago to turn India’s largest slum into a plush township, continues to face hurdles.
Mashal, a non-government organisation assigned the task of conducting abiometric survey of slum dwellers at Dharavi, has said that 31% of the residents insector5,which the state housing agency wants to develop, are not eligible for free houses under the project because they moved to Dharavi after January 1, 2000.
The state government has said only those who started living in Dharavi before this date can benefit from the project.
According to Mashal, more than 2,900 of the total 9,300 houses in the sector have changed hands in the last 11years. Mashal has also pulled out of the survey citing non-cooperation from the slum dwellers and financial compulsions.

The SRA is further slumming the city
Slum Rehabilitation Authority buildings look to neither aesthetics nor the slum-dwellers’ interests. But several NGOs have ideas that could transform slum redevelopment.
The redevelopment of Asia’s largest slum pocket, Dharavi, is reportedly on the front burner again. But experts hope that the sprawling shantytown doesn’t metamorphose into yet another clutch of “vertical slums”, which is how the depressing concrete monoliths of the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) have mostly been described. “There’s no gap between the buildings,texas exotic hunts no social infrastructure, no services or cross-ventilation,” says architect P K Das. “The present SRA model, with its permanent structures which cannot be redone for years, is only slumming the city further.”
Why this state of affairs? Das, who has carried out a number of SRA projects, says that architects are more or less helpless. “It’s a compromise with the given laws and circumstances, not an innovation,” he says. “The present policy is so oppressive and exploitative that working within it is like fine-tuning the crime. Architects need to agitate for a new policy.”
The agitation may not be happening but there are enough urban practitioners looking to create socially, economically and environmentally viable solutions to slum redevelopment. SPARC, an NGO working in the field of housing and infrastructure for the urban poor, undertook a project to create a model home along with Mahila Milan in Byculla. “The women designed the houses themselves. As they didn’t have the tools or technical knowledge, they improvised, using things like saris and dupattas to take measuremeants,” says Maria Lobo from SPARC. Mahila Milan came up with four designs for their model home, hired an architect to help them with the technical details and then held an exhibition where they chose the most viable design. In order to accommodate large families with wow gold tips, the model room had a 14-foot ceiling that allowed for a mezzanine level.

Develop Dharavi, Don't Destroy it
September 10, 2009
Kalpana Sharma, one of India's leading journalist and the author of the book Rediscovering Dharavi revisits the recent history of the Dharavi Redevelopment Project casino online and concludes that "Dharavi should be viewed as a thriving and functioning urban settlement and not as a slum that needs to be flattened and rebuilt. That what it needs is greatly improved infrastructure, particularly water and sanitation, and that the housing solutions should be tackled specifically, area-wise, keeping in mind people’s livelihood needs.
Such an approach might result in more land being used than is currently envisaged in the DRP for Dharavi’s inhabitants. It would definitely mean lower profits for any developer who ventures to undertake such a project. But in the long run, it would allow Dharavi to redevelop in a way that retains its uniqueness but at the same time is environmentally sound and physically attractive."

Dharavi Bids Postponed
July 31, 2009
The Maharastra government decided to postpone the bids amidst rising controversy about the Dharavi Redevelopment Project. This may be motivated by upcoming election, according to a source cited in the Hinduistan Times.
Appointed Dharavi expert and life-long slum activist Jockin was quoted in Times of India saying: "There are so many contradictions and mosley vs pacquiao complications. Only 35% of the slum dwellers seem to be eligible for the project and the government has not considered 35,000 families living on lofts and first floors."
