Case study:
Dharavi
The population of Dharavi is between 800,000 to 1 million but with only 60,000 houses.
This means that the population lives in a very overcrowded houses and they don't have personal space.
They only have 1 toilet for 1440 people.
VISION MUMBAI
What are the targets of Vision Mumbai?
To
replace slums
to flats
To
boost economic growth
To
improve sanitation and healthcare
Vision Mumbai targets: Have they been successful?
Target 2:
Improving transport infrastructure
They have been
successful
as they introduces
new trains
on Mumbai's railways
Target 3:
Improve sanitation
They have been successful as they built 300 extra public toilets
Target 1:
building 1 million low cost homes and reducing slums.
They have been
successful
as replaced 200,000 houses from slums to improve it
Target 4:
boost economic growth
They have been
successful
because the rents for the new flats cost more than it did in the slums, this
improves economic growth
and is beneficial to the government but not the local community.
How well does the targets fit the sustainability stool?
The project 'Vision Mumbai' has
not really
met the sustainability stool because the new houses cost more which is a disadvantage for local businesses, can lead to
homelessness
because they can't afford it
However
, they have built
300 extra public toilets
which improves sanitation
