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.

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.

These photographs are wonderful! I especially liked 3,4,5,7 and 8. I wish the person who had taken them had put his/her name somewhere.

Hello, UT folks. I just uploaded a bunch of images that I had posted on my UNHOUSED (http://unhoused.livejournal.com) site. They used to tell a bit of a loose story by the order they were in. They are all out of order here and the tone/narrative of the text with the images may seem a bit strange or for a different audience. I hope these are useful.
