 | | Access to Clean Water.jpg No description | 991.38 kB | 08:53, 12 Mar 2010 | mtwb | | | | | across_the_street.jpg This image shows a settlement just outside of Dharavi. You can see several levels of building from the informal houses in the front, to the larger apartment buildings of increasing scale behind. | 717.01 kB | 11:42, 12 May 2008 | brettabloom | | | | | aerial2.jpg No description | 219.07 kB | 07:00, 11 Mar 2008 | katia savchuk | | | | | architecture_koliwada.jpg Koliwada buildings and a rooftop | 871.14 kB | 11:40, 12 May 2008 | brettabloom | | | | | barbers2.jpg Men get their morning shave on a busy lane. Dharavi's informal economy comprises innumerable goods and services and occupies a variety of spaces. | 130.93 kB | 07:00, 11 Mar 2008 | katia savchuk | | | | | buidling_remaining.jpg Remains of a smaller, self-built structure typical of Dharavi architecture, in front of a larger apartment building in the back. These larger buildings are made when owners of buildings, like the one in the front, decide to get together, and finance them as a replacement for the smaller, informal buildings... perhaps in anticipation of official, government "redevelopment" of the area. | 918.57 kB | 11:41, 12 May 2008 | brettabloom | | | | | cow_street_scene.jpg Animals can be found tethered to poles, carts, or wandering around Dharavi, and greater Mumbai. | 755.85 kB | 11:43, 12 May 2008 | brettabloom | | | | | dharavi_rooftops.jpg Dharavi is known to many who live outside it or who visit Mumbai by air, by the seemingly contiguous rooftops that are common in the area. | 896.89 kB | 11:41, 12 May 2008 | brettabloom | | | | | dharavi_street_scene.jpg Street scene near the Shivar Guest House, where I was staying, as were many from the Urban Typhoon workshop | 941.04 kB | 11:27, 12 May 2008 | brettabloom | | | | | DSC05538.JPG Police distributing ROSES to dharavi resident on festival of EID :) | 385.42 kB | 00:00, 20 Oct 2008 | Sadikk | | | | | DSC05549.JPG Kids in DHARAVI, on festival of EID. | 396.97 kB | 23:54, 19 Oct 2008 | Sadikk | | | | | electric_shack.jpg There are no city services provided for Dharavi: no water service, no waste handling (both solid and liquid) and no electricity. Electricity is pirated and shared in truly stunning ways like this hub. | 1158.32 kB | 11:55, 12 May 2008 | brettabloom | | | | | electricity.jpg Electricity being shared between these two high rise apartment buildings in Dharavi | 796 kB | 11:56, 12 May 2008 | brettabloom | | | | | facades_waste.jpg Human waste is handled in different ways throughout Dharavi. Here is an open trench that carries human waste, waste water, and garbage out of the area. The facades of these buildings are absolutely amazing! | 972.57 kB | 11:51, 12 May 2008 | brettabloom | | | | | goat_on_car.jpg Goat on a car | 630.62 kB | 11:47, 12 May 2008 | brettabloom | | | | | goats_dharavi2.jpg Goats help to reduce the amount of solid, food waste that is generated every day in Dharavi. | 1062.39 kB | 11:49, 12 May 2008 | brettabloom | | | | | homework2.jpg Spatial adaptation in a high-density environment | 786.61 kB | 07:00, 11 Mar 2008 | katia savchuk | | | | | keyboard2.jpg A worker dismantles old keyboards for recycling in 13 Compound. | 173.34 kB | 07:00, 11 Mar 2008 | katia savchuk | | | | | kids2.jpg No description | 275.5 kB | 07:00, 11 Mar 2008 | katia savchuk | | | | | koliwada_close_bldgs.jpg This image, and the one that follows, shows the narrow paths between the buildings in Koliwada. This actually helps to keep the houses cool in Mumbai's sweltering, humid climate. | 765.02 kB | 11:58, 12 May 2008 | brettabloom | | | | | koliwada_spcbtwn2.jpg No description | 834.21 kB | 11:59, 12 May 2008 | brettabloom | | | | | metal_work.jpg Men bending metal in an outdoor factory. | 1148.99 kB | 12:03, 12 May 2008 | brettabloom | | | | | mosque.jpg This is along the same street as the image above. You can see a small mosque built on top of one of the buildings. | 764.88 kB | 11:42, 12 May 2008 | brettabloom | | | | | papads2.jpg Papads drying in the sun. Dharavi is a food production hub whose products are exported all over the city. | 326.5 kB | 07:00, 11 Mar 2008 | katia savchuk | | | | | piles_garbage.jpg Waste handling is a giant problem for Dharavi. Not only does it pile up, but it also affects the way people who don't go there, or who aren't sympathetic to the Dharaviwallas' situation. This was often the first thing people brought up when I asked them what they thought or knew about the area. | 920.91 kB | 11:50, 12 May 2008 | brettabloom | | | | | potter2.2.jpg A potter stomps on clay in Dharavi's Kumbharwada area. | 138 kB | 07:00, 11 Mar 2008 | katia savchuk | | | | | pottery_district.jpg There are many small business districts in Dharavi. Here is an image from the pottery district. The stereotype of Dharaviwallas as lazy people who want to freeload is so completely false that you know it is not true the minute you step out of Mumbai and into the area. | 952.26 kB | 12:02, 12 May 2008 | brettabloom | | | | | public_space.jpg There are very few open or public spaces in Dharavi. This one is in Koliwada and is used for cricket, holiday celebrations, and public gatherings. | 1115.84 kB | 11:57, 12 May 2008 | brettabloom | | | | | recycling2.jpg In Dharavi's 13 Compound, the center of Mumbai's recycling industry, a worker makes plastic tubes out of recycled materials. | 120.12 kB | 07:00, 11 Mar 2008 | katia savchuk | | | | | sewage.jpg Here is a relatively closed waste water trench. These are very common throughout the area. | 783.27 kB | 11:52, 12 May 2008 | brettabloom | | | | | sewage_drainage.jpg This is one way of managing excess water. Trenches are dug and filled with small stones. | 1173.24 kB | 11:54, 12 May 2008 | brettabloom | | | | | sewage_electricity.jpg Here you can see an open trench of waste water, fresh water pipes, and wires providing electricity to the local buildings. | 341.33 kB | 11:55, 12 May 2008 | brettabloom | | | | | street_beside_dharavi.jpg This street borders Dharavi and is constantly filled with market stalls, pedestrians, and all sorts of vehicles, carts, animals, and more. | 1013.8 kB | 11:27, 12 May 2008 | brettabloom | | | | | street_market.jpg This street market takes up two lanes of the road that runs along Dharavi. You can see that businesses and houses are built right up to the edge of the road leaving the road itself as the only space that can be used for markets such as these. There is an amazing abundance in these markets, like the vegetables you can see here. | 1211.68 kB | 11:38, 12 May 2008 | brettabloom | | | | | street_scene2.jpg Street scene in the Koliwada neighborhood of Dharavi | 1189.82 kB | 11:35, 12 May 2008 | brettabloom | | | | | tshirt2.jpg No description | 93.7 kB | 07:00, 11 Mar 2008 | katia savchuk | | | | | urban_farm.jpg Mumbai is an intensely dense city. No space goes unused. Spaces near the train tracks are off limits to people building houses. This doesn't stop them from using that land for farming. This, and the next two images, is of an urban farm at the Sion train station. The vegetables and herbs raised here were being sold on the street market (depicted above) just less than 100m away. | 1140.2 kB | 12:00, 12 May 2008 | brettabloom | | | | | urban_farm2.jpg urban farm - Sion station | 943.87 kB | 12:01, 12 May 2008 | brettabloom | | | | | urban_farm3.jpg urban farm - Sion station | 984.7 kB | 12:01, 12 May 2008 | brettabloom | | | | | waste_management.jpg This image is confusing, but I wanted to put it in. It shows the waste water trenches opened up. Several men were cleaning the trenches out by hand. They were pulling roots, paper, plastic, human waste, and other unknown substances out and making piles like these. I saw this maintenance of the waste trenches happening all around Dharavi. This image is from Koliwada. | 876.52 kB | 11:53, 12 May 2008 | brettabloom | | | | | water_boys.jpg These boys bathed in public, then filled containers with water to take home. A lot of bathing takes place in public in Dharavi as there are not spaces in peoples' homes, nor are there many facilities for indoor bathing. People bathe with their clothes on. | 911.24 kB | 11:56, 12 May 2008 | brettabloom | | | | | water_supply_sewage.jpg Freshwater comes from wells dug beneath Dharavi, or from private sources that are tapped into and split an unbelievable number of times. Often, the freshwater pipes run just above, or through the waste water channels. | 901.41 kB | 11:52, 12 May 2008 | brettabloom | |
