Slum+City - Re-connecting Mumbai through street-led slum redevelopment

Sammanfattning: Slums are not sustainable, not healthy nor worthy places to live. But forcing the poor people out of the cities is equally unsustainable. In cities all over the world - in slums, favelas and shanty towns – the poor has started solving their housing problems in self built neighborhoods. In Mumbai, Dharavi is one of the oldest parts of the city, yet on of the most well-known and notorious slums in the world. How can we ensure poor and lower-income groups first of all a home in the city, under fair and safe conditions? And at the same time reduce the stigma and make these neighbourhoods and citizens become part of the formal city?
