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

Ekholm, Jonna LU (2016) ASBM01 20212
Department of Architecture and Built Environment
Abstract
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?
