Scale
Mumbai's biggest slum is Dharavi. It covers only about 2km per square area and is a home up to 1 million people.
Every year, hundreds of new arrivals come at the edge of the slum where they set up homes illegally among-st the waste on land that is not suitable for habitation.
Power
The city grew under the British rule before 1950s. Protected from the Arabian Sea by a peninsular at the southern end of Salsette Island, it had access to sea on two sides and the British saw this as the "Gateway to India".
Government of Maharashta introduced a New Housing Policy, making housing better and more affordable. About 1.9 million houses were made.
Th Rent Control Act was also introduced by the government to create housing stock for rental purposes. Rights to licencees and make rental business.
"Housing for All" announced by the Prime Minister of India, Navenda Mori, to provide more affordable housing to the poor. As well as politicians provided services to slum dwellers in exchange of votes.
Possibilities
1) The power energy has been failing, by 2030, energy will be as inexpensive as cellphone and available to all.( 2,44 per unit for a 500 megawatt installation, a greater than 99% reduction in cost) . With inexpensive energy, the problem of water shortages and water bone viruses can be solved because boiling all off the water needed will be economical. 2) New generation of inexpensive medical devices are possible meaning reduction to the diagnoses.
A $2billion development project threatens the recycling district and part of Dharavi. The land upon which Dharavi is built is next to Mumbai’s financial district. This makes it a prime target for redevelopment. The people who are relocated will be put into smaller housing in apartment blocks. The locals would prefer small improvements to the existing slum such as improvements in drainage. The value of land is so high that redevelopment is now a real threat. The alternative accommodation is very small.
Place
The Deccan region of India, the capital city of Maharashtra, Mumbai lies on the western coast of India by the bank of Arabian Sea. Mumbai is made from the group of seven islands and is thus referred to as the Island city. It covers total area of 603 square km.
It has a population of 18 million. However, many of the residents of Mumbai live in illegal squatter settlements.
